Extract

During the Spring Semester of 1984, we had the opportunity to field test Women in the Judicial Process and Men, Women, and State Violence: Government and the Military, two of the units in the American Political Science Association's project, Citizenship and Change: Women and American Politics. We greeted the experiment with great enthusiasm. Our current undergraduate curriculum includes the course “Women and Politics“; but, like many departments, we have given consideration to “mainstreaming” the contents of this class into other courses. Some of our faculty contend that “Women and Politics” perpetuates the “ghettoization” of such material and that our students would be better served by the abandonment of “Women and Politics” in favor of the integration of its content into our more traditional offerings.
