3 courses with the subject WMST, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
WMST 2000Introduction to Women’s Studies3
Functioning as an overview to and integration of the women’s studies courses available to TSU students across the University, this introductory course to the Women’s Studies program and minor offers a conceptual and theoretical baseline from which each student may develop her/his trajectory of study. The course is expressly multidisciplinary and multicultural; it explores feminist theories and looks at women and gender as treated in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. This introduction may be team taught and may represent ideas from the perspectives of faculty within differing disciplines.
This one-semester course acts as the capstone for the Women’s Studies minor in that the individual student will produce an independent research work that synthesizes his/her major field with the required course work in the Women’s Studies minor. This course will be monitored by the WS Coordinator/Coordinating Committee, but the student will also work with a faculty member from her/his major area. Enrollment by permission of the WMST Coordinator/Coordinating Committee.
This interdisciplinary course can be proposed by the instructor either based on individual or student interest. The course must be approved by the Women’s Studies Coordinating Council/Committee and fulfill the competencies of the Women’s Studies Program. Topics may include but are not limited to the history of Women’s Studies, representations of women in music, a comparative study of women’s movements and activisms, feminism and racism, specific representations of women within different nationalities, etc. Permission of the instructor required.
