Thanks in advance Though Helen included her name and email address at the end of her posting so people could reply to her privately, the message as it stands is still not appropriate for WMST-L. The list's mail volume is too heavy to permit messages searching for people in general, though WMST-L IS a place where, as a last resort, subscribers can search for people whom they're trying to reach in connection with Women's Studies teaching, research, or program administration. But the message should make that clear. Also, before sending such a message, please try the various techniques for finding people described in the WMST-L file FINDING ADDRESS, which was publicized not long ago on WMST-L. Send the message GET FINDING ADDRESS to LISTSERV@UMDD.UMD.EDU . (Be sure to send this message to LISTSERV, not WMST-L--do NOT hit "reply"!) I do not intend this as a reproach to Helen Thompson, who had no reason to think that her message was in any way a problem.

Joan Korenman (korenman@umbc2.umbc.edu) ************************************************************* 1) Gender and Media Syllabus Added to WMST-L Collection Bernadette Barker-Plummer has just contributed the syllabus from a Media Studies course she taught this semester at the University of San Francisco entitled "Gender and Media." I have added it to the WMST-L syllabi collection under the title MEDIA+ GENDER (that's a plus sign at the end of "media"). In her note to me, she added that she would welcome feedback. To obtain a list of all available syllabi, send a mail message to LISTSERV@UMDD.UMD.EDU or LISTSERV@UMDD (Bitnet) that says: INDEX SYLLABI . To obtain a specific syllabus, send a message to the same address saying GET [FILENAME] SYLLABI, where "[FILENAME]" is the name of the file you want. For example, GET MEDIA+ GENDER SYLLABI . To obtain more than one file, put each command on a separate line: GET MEDIA+ GENDER SYLLABI GET FEMINIST PEDAGOGY SYLLABI GET COMPUTE1 FEMINTRO SYLLABI GET RESEARCH METHOD4 SYLLABI If you have syllabi in electronic form that you'd be willing to make available in the WMST-L SYLLABI files, send them directly to me as a file or in an e-mail message at either of the addresses given with my signature below. The syllabi must be in ASCII format (also known as DOS text format) and must have no lines longer than 75 characters, and each line must end in a carriage return (line feeds don't count). If you have syllabi in Wordperfect or other wordprocessing format, it is easy to convert them to ASCII format. Consult your wordprocessing manual for instructions. Two more things: 1) PLEASE BE SURE THE SYLLABUS INCLUDES YOUR NAME, THE NAME OF THE INSTITUTION WHERE THE COURSE WAS TAUGHT, AND THE YEAR THE SYLLABUS WAS USED; and 2) if you can, it would be especially desirable if you'd append to the end of your syllabus any projects, assignments, etc. that you used in the course and that worked well. Note: PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME PAPER COPIES OF THE SYLLABUS. I have neither the time nor a good enough scanner to convert them to an electronic format. If you have any questions, please contact me privately, not via WMST-L. Many thanks to Bernadette Barker-Plummer for her valuable syllabus.

But it is in no way the equivalent for Ms since it still does clearly indicate marital status. A lot of us try to use just first and last names. The problem with students is that most university teachers do not seem to consider their students, at least not undergraduates, to be adults. Many teachers and students alike refer to them/each other as garcons and filles (boys and girls; note the symmetry), although when titles are needed, my colleagues do refer to either mademoiselle or madame depending on marital status. I note, however, that since I hit about 30, I've been refered to as madame, although I'm not married. When giving our names, we are constantly asked--in adminisatrations, surveys, etc--"Is it 'madame' or 'mademoiselle'?" I always answer "yes." If that failed, I just tell them to put whatever they want. (When strangers asked about my infant "Is it a boy or a girl?" I also used to answer "yes.")

On the question of appropriate forms of address in French... I am an anglo woman whose "ms." is part of my signature, I take it everywhere with me. It's a small thing but it's important to me. So when I attend classes or submitt wotks to my university, which is in Quebec, I sign the documents with "Mdlle" -- it stands for "Madelle" -- a combination of the two more traditional forms of address -- and like the English "Ms." it indicates neither marital status nor age. I picked it up from a teacher of mine many years ago... a Francophone who taught in Ontario. Rather surprised that 12 years later no one else has mentioned it. I suspect that many find it ungainly but that has also been said of "Ms". I fancy both. Madelle M.

I'm at a branch campus of the University of Indiana, not the most fertile ground for disagreement with the religious status quo. I want to propose a course on feminist theology, but I know what I'm going to hear, so I have to do this right. I would like to see what is being done at a wide range of schools, from the more progressive to the right wing conservative. If you teach a course on Feminist Theology (not so much women and religion, but rather the alternative theologies proposed by feminisms) I would very much appreciate a copy of your syllabus. I looked on the WMST-L directory of syllabi and was surprised that there was no feminist theology course there. If you are able to send the syllabus by e-mail, that would be great.

I've seen Joanna Frueh et. al., New Feminist Criticism and Broude and Garrard, Feminism and Art History. I've heard of Nina Felshin, Women in the Visual Arts, though it's not in Books in Print. Can any artists or art historians out there make some other suggestions? (My students are artists and would relish writings by artists as well as by critics and art historians.) Reply to me privately or to the list if you think the info. of general interest. Thanks!

I've looked through about half a dozen textbooks (e.g., Boatright's Ethics and the Conduct of Business; Shaw's Business Ethics and several of the "taking opposite sides" books) and don't like any of them. Primarily because such issues as sexual harassment and work discrimination seem to be practically an afterthought. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I screened Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter for my production students last semester and we shared some reservations about the film. Reservations that related to discussions we'd been having about the filmmaker's ethical responsibility to her/his subjects. Primarily re anthropological and ethnographic films but also to any film or video that involves people and their lives. We were especially concerned with the fact that Deborah's mother really could not offer an "informed" consent regarding her participation in the video. The project may have helped the filmmaker come to terms with her feelings, but at whose expense? If anybody has seen this video, I'd like to hear other responses. Respond privately or publicly if you feel this issue merits wider discussion.

Sorry to be out of touch for such a long time. I have been finishing my master's thesis, etc. and have not had the time for anything else. But, I'm back now with a new perspective on life. This new perspective is the combined result of being a new MA recipient and an Affirmative Action researcher. I am currently employed as a research assistant preparing Affirmative Action reports for our university. I am relatively a relatively new arrival on the Affirmative Action scene, however. So I am still learning, both the legislation and the repercussions of the legislation. I am also looking for relavent research topics. So the recent trend of others interested in Affirmative Action materials has cought my attention. I also would be interested in sources of these materials. I realize I am late responding to these posting and I appologize for that. However, I would also like to be included in those reciving this information. I haven't decided on a specific topic, eg., veterans, physically challenged, women, minorities, etc. So I would like to compile as many sources as possible in order to identify an appropriate area. Please respond to me privately at v.wagone@morehead.st.edu Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I was invited to lecture at the International Association of Women in Science in Education, Women Mathematicians conference in Voronezh, Russia. The Russian women I met were incredible; full of warmth, strength, hospitality. They are survivors in Modern Russia. Struggling to survive amid the changes and new face of their country and profession. A very prominant biophysicist and professor, who has authored many articles and books, makes $40.00 a month. But she continues her dreams without hesitation, knowing she could easily move to another country and create a more comfortable life. And while many Russian professionals do choose to leave their country, she remains so that she may train the young people of her country. I am touched and moved by the strength and faith of this and all the Russian women with whom I sat and spoke. Last night I returned to the U.S. and while it was nice to sleep in my own bed I am ready to return to this emerging land and to the many strong and beautiful women of Russia. I am interested in any journals, articles or books related to the development of Russian women (social, emotional, political) past and present, and any women on this list who may wish to correspond in this regard. In addition if there are any Russian women on this list please e-mail me privately for a continued discussion of one of the most incredible experiences of my life. If any of you are ever interested in seeing the true spirit of women - living, free, determined, tangible... (I could go on and on) then visit the women of Russia. I am not the same for I have seen the stars shine in the eyes of Russian women.

I was talking yesterday to Judy Mann, a columnist for the Washington Post who writes frequently about women's issues. She wanted to know whether her 1994 book, _The Difference: Growing Up Female in America_ (New York: Warner Books), was being used in Women's Studies courses. I had no idea, so I decided to turn to WMST-L for feedback. If you or others you know have used Judy Mann's book, I'd be most grateful if you'd let me know. Details and comments are welcome--I'll pass them on to Judy unless you ask me not to. So as not to clutter the list with responses that will probably interest few people, I've set a "reply-to" header so that replies will come automatically back to me rather than to WMST-L. (This works 98% of the time. Every now and then, however, a deficient mail system will fail to recognize the reply-to header; if your response seems to be addressed to WMST-L rather than to me, please cancel the message and send me a note not using the "reply" feature. Also, if you're asked whether you wish the reply to go to all recipients, say NO.) Many thanks.

Yes. First of all, ALWAYS put your name and e-mail address at the end of every posting. (It is important that people be able to contact you privately if they wish, and some mail systems do not identify the writer anywhere in the header.) Also, please include a meaningful subject heading, so that people will know whether your message deals with a topic of interest to them. (MANY people automatically delete messages with no subject heading or with one that doesn't interest them.) Finally, if you are replying to someone else's posting, BRIEFLY quote or summarize that posting before you offer your reply. Doing so will make your message clearer and avoid confusion. (New subscribers are continually joining the list; they may not have read the original message. And since a number of topics are often being discussed on the list at any given moment, even long-time subscribers may not remember what prompted your remarks unless you remind them.)

Poxon" Subject: first-person fiction A couple of months ago, someone posted a request to the list for recommendations of first-person novels written in a voice gendered differently from the author (women's voices written by men, e.g.). I realize that the person who was looking for such suggestions might not be reading at this point--in fact I wonder if *anyone* is reading, since the list has fallen so quiet--but I've just come across a really interesting book that deserves a mention. It's called _Albion's Story_, by an Australian woman named Kate Grenville (Harcourt Brace, 1994); it's set in fin-de-siecle Australia, and it's written in the prose style one would expect of a novel written during that time, but it seems to be motivated by a *very* contemporary notion of how gender is constructed--a really interesting book.

Messages concerning your WMST-L subscription should be sent to LISTSERV@UMDD.UMD.EDU (or, on Bitnet, LISTSERV@UMDD). If you wish to unsubscribe, for example, send the message UNSUB WMST-L to the LISTSERV address, not to WMST-L. If you receive the edited DIGEST and want to unsubscribe, your UNSUB message still goes to LISTSERV but should have two lines: UNSUB WMST-L on one line, AFD DEL WMST-L PACKAGE on the other.

Van Every" Subject: case studies of women's organizations I am sending this request for a student doing an undergraduate dissertation on the culture of Weight Watchers groups. It would be useful for her to read a similar analysis to get an idea of how to go about the research (she will be conducting the fieldwork this summer). It needn't be about Weight Watchers but if anyone knows of any articles which report on a case study (preferably sociological or anthropological) of a women's informal organization could you reply to me privately.

I am very interested in making a collection of stories, anecdotes, about this period in any woman's life, but especially feminists and women of color. I know there is a menopaus list but I can't seem to access it. MAny thanks.

Marquardt-Cherry" Subject: ART HISTORY TEXTS Re: request from Leah C Ulansey... I assign readings in many of the books mentioned on the list thus far but for a basic textbook, especially if one teaches a broader historical course than just the contemporary period, you really can't beat Whitney Chadwick's Women, Art and Society. I know it had a few questionable reviews, but she introduces key issues which can be followed by good specialized studies, she makes some solid contextual analyses which serve as excellent models of art history and the book is affordable, portable and well illustrated. Being critical scholarship rather than mere compilation, it stands many heads above all the other survey texts available.

I am indebted to all those who have contributed. However, I regret to share that last week I was informed that my contract at the NIH will not be renewed. As of October, I will officially be out of a job. Of course, the timing of this is terrible as the major recruiting period for the dwindling number of academic jobs is in the fall and winter. Thus, I have no idea what I will do. I have spent the last 12 years of my life (4 years undergrad., 4 years graduate, & 4 years postdoctoral) preparing to become a member of a college or university faculty. The prospects of that happening now seem pretty slim. For those of you who are undergraduates or who are in graduate school, let me share a bit of wisdom. Listen to what your professors and/or mentors are saying. The beginning of a career path is often characterized by a great deal of optimism and enthusiasm. This is the time when we are least likely to take seriously cautionary advice/predictions that faculty may share about the reality of the field we are going into. Unfortunately, it is also the time when we most need to listen to that advice. Couple this with the fact that many students either receive no advice at all or hear pronouncements from faculty who have little concept of the realities of future job prospects in their field and the situation is ripe for more people to experience what I am right now. Furthermore, encouraging advice such as "the best always get jobs" or "the cream always rises to the top" are misleading. As many feminist authors have pointed out in the past, the situation is highly political. There is no denying that good people get jobs. However, lots of good people don't get jobs too; the ratio of the latter to the former is increasing at an alarming rate. For those of you who are doubters, let me give you a dose of reality. I have distinguished myself in two academic disciplines: the psychological and biological sciences. I am currently editing a book on women in science, written two book chapters, and have over 12 other publications in leading journals in both psychology and biology. I have been a visiting lecturer at over 50 university and college campuses at the invitation of women's studies, psychology, sociology, and biology departments. I have delivered plenary lectures at major association meetings, chaired a multidisciplinary symposium sponsored by the Amer. Psychological Society, and will deliver what will probably be my last lecture at the upcoming Amer. Psychological Assoc. meeting in August. My work has also been featured in the popular media in such venues as Time, Newsweek, Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, Washington Post, as well as the BBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC news. I am regularly quoted and consulted as an expert on social policy, ethics of genetic research, women in science, and lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender issues. I have not listed the above to brag, nor to discourage, nor to provide a measure by which you can compare yourself. Instead I did so to illustrate that it is possible to do virtually everything right, to work hard and excel, to be respected as a scholar and sought after as a speaker, etc. and still find yourself without a job. No one ever thinks that this stuff will happen to them. To dwell on it would be so overwhelming that one would never initiate anything. So, rather than end with a discouraging remark, I would like to offer my encouragement to those of you in undergraduate and/or graduate study. Go for your dreams! However, with that said, let me also suggest that you resist with every ounce of energy you have the tendency of academia to pigeonhole you and to restrict your focus. Obtain as liberal and broad-based education as possible and think of yourself in the broadest of contexts. The benefits will be enormous: you will be enriched personally as well as intellectually, while at the same time acquire skills and knowledge that will enable you to be flexible in your career. GOOD LUCK!
