WGSS 40500 - WGSS Practicum

Course Credit: 1
WGSS PRACTICUM This course involves mentored participation in a student-defined project in feminist praxis. The student will engage in practical efforts toward understanding and/or working for gender justice, and the course will culminate in written analysis of the practicum experience in relation to coursework in WGSS. Practicum could include: organizing events on campus around feminist issues, publishing a feminist newsletter, or staging a theatre production, in conjunction with academic work on the topic. Students interested in a practicum experience are also urged to explore the Antioch Women’s Students Semester in Europe (Fall), the GLCA Philadelphia Center Urban Program, and make prior arrangements with a Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies faculty member to count their off-campus work as a practicum upon submission of a reflective paper or journal entries. May be repeated. Prerequisite(s): WGSS-12000 and at least 1 other WGSS course; Permission of the Chairperson is required before registration. Annually.
