La Universidad de Granada
CINCO SIGLOS DE HISTORIA
Fundada en 1531 bajo el reinado de Carlos V, la universidad de Granada es un claro ejemplo de tradición
histórica, intelectual y cultural desde su creación hace ya casi 500 años. Desde sus comienzos deja
constancia de su influencia social en el entorno de la ciudad, hasta el punto de instituirse como núcleo
independiente de formación y fundamental centro de enseñanza dentro de las principales universidades
europeas.
LA UNIVERSIDAD HOY
La Universidad ha afrontado en los últimos años el mayor crecimiento de su historia, situándose entre las
primeras universidades españolas. En la actualidad cuenta con siete campus, los cuales muestran la
diversidad de estilos que envuelven a la universidad y que garantizan un cúmulo de efectos visuales
pasando de la arquitectura más antigua a la más moderna.
La oferta formativa de la Universidad de Granada es de las más amplias de Europa, lo que explica el
elevado número de alumnos (más de 70.000). Un importante porcentaje de ellos son estudiantes internacionales (13%).
Durante su crecimiento se ha amoldado a los cambios sociales, llegando así a ser internacionalmente
reconocida en todos los ámbitos universitarios (docente, investigador, cultural y de servicios) por su
calidad, a sus miembros y a su entorno, siendo el destino europeo preferido por los alumnos de intercambio.
INTERNACIONALIZACIÓN DE LA UGR
La UGR apuesta decididamente por una destacada participación en todas aquellas iniciativas que
puedan favorecer su dimensión internacional situando la internacionalización de la UGR (de su oferta
académica, de sus servicios y de toda la comunidad universitaria) como uno de los ejes estratégicos para
su desarrollo y crecimiento.
RÁNKING
El Ránking "Premier League" indica la importancia mundial de nuestra universidad, la cual, en 2009, ha
sido clasificada como una de las universidades líderes a nivel internacional. Además, es la primera
universidad del continente europeo en recepción y envío de estudiantes, siendo galardonada en 2007
por la Comisión Europea con la "Estrella de Oro" del programa Erasmus.
En los últimos años hemos asistido a un importante fomento de los intercambios a través de, entre otros
factores, su impulso económico por parte de la Universidad, cuyo máximo objetivo es favorecer las oportunidades para todos.

The University of Granada
FIVE CENTURIES OF HISTORY
Founded in 1531, during the reign of Charles V, the University of Granada (UGR) has been a clear
exponent of historical, intellectual and cultural tradition ever since its creation almost 500 years ago.
From the outset, the university's strong social influence on the city enabled it to become an independent
nucleus of teaching and a fundamental centre of education among the major European universities.
THE UNIVERSITY TODA
TODAYY
In recent years, the University has undergone the greatest period of growth in its history, making it one of
Spain's largest universities. There are currently seven campuses, which reflect the diversity of architectural
styles present in the different university buildings, stretching from the 16th century right up to the
present day and guaranteeing a combination of visual effects.
The range of courses offered by the UGR is among the widest in Europe, which explains the high student
numbers (over 70,000), 13% of which are foreign students.
During its growth, the University has adapted to the different social changes, becoming internationally
renowned for its quality in all areas of higher education: teaching, research, culture and services both to
university members and to society in general. It is the favourite European host university for exchange
students.

TIONALIZA
TION OF THE UGR
INTERNATIONALIZA
TIONALIZATION
The UGR is strongly committed to playing a major role in all those initiatives that will favour its international
dimension and places the internationalization of its list of courses, its services and the whole of the
university community as one of the key strategies for its development and growth.
RANKING
The "Premier League" Ranking indicates our university's importance worldwide, since, in 2009, the UGR
was rated as one of the leading universities internationally. Furthermore, it is the European university that
sends and receives the largest number of students and, in 2007, it was awarded the Erasmus programme's
"Gold Star" by the European Commission.
In recent years, a concerted effort has been made to promote the UGR's academic exchanges by, among
other measures, increasing the financial support provided by the University, the main objective of which
is to favour opportunities for everyone.

Universidad de Granada Guía del Estudiante Internacional
Conoce Granada
Granada, ciudad histórica; musulmana, cristiana y judía. Actualmente representa uno de los mayores
conjuntos monumentales de España: históricamente es el último reducto del Islam en Europa Occidental.
La Alhambra (Patrimonio de la Humanidad) y el Generalife son muestras del esplendor de esa civilización;
Granada es, igualmente, ciudad del Renacimiento. El Hospital Real o la Catedral, en la que descansan
los Reyes Católicos, son sólo algunos ejemplos del bien conservado patrimonio histórico granadino.
Los centros y dependencias universitarias se encuentran distribuidos en diferentes lugares del casco
urbano de Granada, lo que proporciona a la ciudad un estilo universitario propio, pues de los 270.000
habitantes de la capital, 70.000 son estudiantes universitarios. Hablar de Granada es, asimismo, hablar
de una geografía privilegiada, a unos 60 km de la costa mediterránea de clima tropical y al pie de Sierra
Nevada, una cadena montañosa que se eleva a una altitud de más de 3.400 m. y en la que se encuentra
la estación de esquí más meridional de toda Europa.
Granada es, hoy en día, una ciudad que se esfuerza en cuidar su pasado histórico y, a la vez, adaptarse
a los retos actuales de cualquier otro lugar a través de la modernización de infraestructuras, tráfico,
servicios al ciudadano, etc. Su actividad económica está basada, principalmente, en el sector de los
servicios, el turismo y, por supuesto, la universidad.
Get to know Granada
The historical city of Granada. Moslem, Christian and Jewish. Nowadays it is one of the cities with most
monuments in Spain. Historically, it was the last stronghold of Islam in Western Europe; the Alhambra (a
World Heritage Site) and the Generalife are symbols of the Islamic civilization's splendour. Granada is also
a Renaissance city; the Hospital Real or the Cathedral (where the Catholic Monarchs are interred) are just
two examples of Granada's well-preserved heritage.
The University's educational centres and premises are located throughout Granada, giving the city a
character all its own, since, out of 270,000 inhabitants, 70,000 are university students. When we think of
Granada, we must also think of its perfect geographical position: the city lies in the foothills of Sierra
Nevada, a mountain range that rises to a height of 3,400 m. and which is home to Europe's southernmost
ski resort. And, to top it all, the Mediterranean coast, with a wonderful sub-tropical climate, is only 60 kms.
away.
Today, Granada is a city that strives to preserve its historical past while, at the same time, adapting to the
same challenges currently faced by cities everywhere: modernising its infrastructure, traffic, public services,
etc. Its economy is based principally on the services sector, tourism and, of course, its university.

International Student Guide University of Granada
La provincia de Granada
Los 13.000 kilómetros cuadrados de la provincia de Granada contienen una inimaginable cantidad y
variedad de atractivos turísticos. En cualquier momento del año, los visitantes pueden elegir entre una
amplia y variada oferta a la hora de pasar sus días: Visitar monumentos históricos y artísticos, disfrutar
de los pequeños hostales en las numerosas aldeas salpicadas a lo largo de los caminos, explorar los
distintos enclaves que conforman hermosas rutas de turismo rural a través de las colinas y montañas,
esquiar o participar en los deportes que se ofrecen en la estación de esquí, además de otras actividades
al aire libre y disfrutar de momentos de ocio en las playas de nuestra costa tropical.
Para aquellos que prefieran la paz del campo a la agitación de la vida en la ciudad, existen seis reservas
naturales, entre las que se incluye el Parque Nacional de Sierra Nevada. A los pies de la Sierra Nevada,
se encuentra una zona conocida como las Alpujarras, de forma accidentada y belleza natural, con
pueblos cuyo origen se remonta a la Edad Media. Aquí, el visitante podrá encontrar un espectacular
paisaje, clima benigno y completa paz y tranquilidad. En el interior, la zona del Marquesado y la alta
meseta proporcionan un paisaje diferente al anterior. En el extremo más occidental de la provincia todavía
pueden verse interesantes restos del reino musulmán y de sus fortalezas marcando la frontera entre
Granada y las provincias históricamente cristianas al oeste.

Granada's surroundings
The 13,000 square kilometres of the province of Granada contain an unimaginable number and variety of
tourist attractions. At any time of the year visitors can choose from a multitude of ways in which to fill their
leisure time: visiting historic and artistic monuments, spending the night at the small hotels in the many
villages dotted along the byways and tracks that form a rural tourism network in the hills and mountains,
skiing or taking part in the other sports on offer at the ski resort, as well as other open-air activities or just
relaxing on the beach down by the coast.
For those who prefer the peace of the countryside to the bustle of city life there are six nature reserves,
including the Sierra Nevada National Park. The foothills
to the south of the Sierra Nevada, known as the
Alpujarras, form an area of rugged natural beauty, with
villages dating back to the Middle Ages. With its
dramatic scenery, benign climate and complete peace
and quiet, visitors often find it difficult to leave. Further
inland, the area of the Marquesado and the high meseta provide landscapes that are in stark contrast to
those of the Alpujarras. And in the westernmost parts
of the province there are still many interesting ruins
from the times of the Muslim kingdom and its fortresses,
when this was the frontier between Granada and the
Christian provinces to the west.

you entered Spain and submit the application, a copy of your passport (including the student visa)
and three photographs.
Extension of stay for study
If the duration of your studies is greater than one year, you must apply for and obtain an extension of
your permit of stay. Therefore it is very important to present the application sixty days prior to its
expiry because it will be not accepted for processing if it has expired and you will need to obtain a new
visa. Along with the extension request you must provide the following documents: a copy of your
previous identity card, your passport, medical insurance (including repatriation costs), economic
justification (scholarships, family income, etc.) and an accreditation stating that you are allowed to
carry on with your studies (academic certification). Once granted permission, you must apply for the
new identity card within one month.

ARIA.
SANITARIA.
Si eres estudiante procedente de la Unión Europea acogido al sistema de asistencia sanitaria
pública en tu país de origen, no olvides tu Tarjeta Sanitaria Europea (TSE) o el Certificado de Salud
Europeo. Esta tarjeta es individual y certifica el derecho de su titular a recibir las prestaciones
necesarias durante una estancia temporal en cualquiera de los países integrantes de la UE o del
Espacio Económico Europeo. Recibirás esta asistencia presentando dicha tarjeta en los ambulatorios
o centros de salud más próximos a tu domicilio.
Si procedes de países no pertenecientes a la Unión Europea (en el caso de los beneficiarios de un
Programas de Movilidad Internacional) deberás tener un seguro médico internacional propio, excepto en aquellos casos en que exista acuerdo por parte de la Universidad de Granada para proporcionar dicha cobertura.
Los estudiantes beneficiarios de Convenios Bilaterales deberán traer consigo los correspondientes
formularios desde sus respectivos países y presentar la solicitud en el centro de salud más próximo
al domicilio.
MEDICAL CARE.
If you are a student from the EU and have access to the public health system in your home country,
you should bring your European Healthcare Card or European Medical Certificate with you. This will
entitle you to receive any necessary healthcare during a temporary stay in any of the EU member
states or in countries of the European Economic Area. You will be seen by a doctor on showing your
healthcare card or certificate at the outpatient or health centre closest to where you live in Granada.
If you are from a non-EU country (ie those students coming to study at the UGR via an International
Mobility Programme), you must bring your own international medical insurance, except in those
cases in which the UGR has agreed to provide the necessary healthcare cover.
Students coming from countries that have signed bilateral healthcare agreements with Spain
should bring the corresponding documentation with them from their home country and apply to be
assigned a Family Doctor at the health centre closest to where they live in Granada.

DISFRUTAA DE LAS TTAP
APAS
Granada es una de las pocas ciudades
españolas en las que, al pedir una consumición en un bar, se sirve una tapa gratis. Y es que, ir de tapeo
con los amigos es una de las costumbres más arraigadas en la ciudad, ya que constituye una sabrosa y
variada alternativa para almuerzos o cenas informales. El Albaicín, Campo del Príncipe o la calle Elvira
son paradas obligadas si se quiere conocer el tapeo granadino. A lo largo de los siglos las creaciones y
recetas tradicionales de las culturas judía, árabe y cristiana se han ido fusionando para dar lugar a una
cocina original y llena de matices.
Las comidas españolas suelen hacerse en horarios diferentes:
El desayuno se toma temprano, antes de ir al trabajo o a clase. Alrededor de las 11 suele
desayunarse de nuevo en una cafetería. Lo típico en Granada es un café con leche o un zumo y una
tostada, que puede ser de tomate, mixta (mantequilla y mermelada), de aceite de oliva…
El almuerzo tiene lugar entre las 14:00 y las 15:30, dependiendo de los horarios de las familias.
Suele consistir en un primer plato (gazpacho, lentejas, pasta…), un segundo (carne o pescado con
ensalada o patatas) y postre, que con frecuencia es fruta.
A media tarde (entre las 17:00 y las 19:00) es normal tomar un té, café o zumo de merienda.
La cena es una comida más ligera, que se hace entre las 20:30 y las 22:30. Es muy normal cenar
fuera de casa, en un restaurante, de tapas, o simplemente tomando un bocadillo (algo muy típico en
España: de jamón serrano, queso, tortilla de patatas, pimientos fritos, ...).

Granada is one of the few Spanish

AS AND LOCAL SPECIALITIES
cities where they serve you a free tapa when you order a drink in a café or bar. In fact, going out for tapas
with friends is a common feature of the Granada lifestyle, since it is a tasty and more varied alternative to
an informal lunch or dinner. The traditional recipes and dishes created by the Jewish, Arab and Christian
cultures have gradually been combined down through the centuries, leaving a local cuisine that is full of
originality and nuances.
Spanish eating habits are rich and varied:
Breakfast is usually eaten early, before leaving for work or class. Around 11 o'clock, people
normally have a second breakfast in a café. It's typical in Granada to have a coffee with milk or juice
accompanied with toasted bread that can be served with tomato, jam and butter (tostada mixta),
olive oil…
Lunch is normally eaten between 2 p.m. and 3.30 p.m., always depending on the routine of each
family. Lunch is normally served in various courses. There is the starter (gazpacho, lentils, pasta), a
main dish (meat or fish served with salad or potatoes) and a dessert. Between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. it's
common to have a tea, coffee or juice for an afternoon snack.
Normally a light meal is taken between 8.30 p.m. and 10.30 p.m. Every household makes dinner in a
different way. It is common to have salad, omelette, pizza, soup, or a sandwich. Most people like to
have dinner outside of the house, in a tapas restaurant, or perhaps just a simple sandwich... (something

very typical in Spain: serrano ham, cheese, omelette, fried peppers,…)
Together with Salamanca and Almería, Granada is one of the few Spanish regions where a drink in a
bar, or in a restaurant, is accompanied by free tapas. For this reason, students frequently have
dinner by simply ordering tapas in the bars of the city.
DINERO España está dentro de la llamada "zona euro", por lo tanto el Euro es la moneda de curso
legal que se utiliza. Puedes ver el cambio actual de tu moneda con el Euro en http://www.oanda.com/

Es normal que al realizar una compra en España con tarjeta de crédito se solicite el documento de
identidad o pasaporte para comprobar la identidad del comprador. Por ello, es importante ir provisto del
documento de identidad cuando vaya a utilizarse la tarjeta de crédito. Las tarjetas de crédito Visa,
American Express y MasterCard se aceptan en la mayoría de los establecimientos comerciales.
MONEY Spain forms part of the so-called "Eurozone", so the legal tender is the Euro. If you come
from a country with a different currency, you can check the exchange rate at http://www.oanda.com/

When using a credit card in Spain you are usually asked to show your ID card or passport to prove your
identity. A photocopy is not enough, so don't forget to carry the original if you want to pay by card. Most
establishments accept the major credit cards (Visa, American Express, MasterCard…).

FEMINIST HISTORY: WOMEN’S MOVEMENTS WORLDWIDE AND FEMINIST HISTORIOGRAPHY - STORIA DELLE DONNE
10 ECTS
Fiorenza Tarozzi
[email protected]
(Facoltà di Lingue e Letterature Straniere – Dipartimento di Discipline Storiche, Antropologiche e Geografiche)
Il corso intende affrontare tematiche proprie della storia contemporanea attraverso l'analisi dei processi culturali e mentali degli uomini e delle donne
che della storia sono protagonisti. Una storia non di eventi, ma di cambiamenti per capire come la società odierna è diventata quella che è; una storia
che indaga campi diversi: le condizioni di vita, i sentimenti, i comportamenti.
Il campo è quello proprio della storia sociale, un modo di fare storia che ha
dato voce a quella maggioranza di uomini e di donne che la storia politica ha
in gran parte trascurato.
Questo è un tipo di storia basato non su singoli eventi ma sullo studio delle
trasformazioni che permettono di comprendere meglio la società moderna,
una storia incentrata principalmente su: condizioni di vita; emozioni; comportamenti collettivi e individuali.
FEMINIST THEORY: BETWEEN DIFFERENCE AND DIVERSITY - TEORIE
DEGLI STUDI DI GENERE E CRITICHE FEMMINISTE: TRA DIFFERENZE
E DIVERSITA'
10 ECTS
Rita Monticelli
[email protected]
(Facoltà di Lingue e Letterature Straniere, Dipartimento di Lingue e Letterature Straniere Moderne)
Translating trauma and dislocations. Narratives and visual perspectives of
postmemory.
The course will analyse critical theories and methodologies of gender and
postcolonial studies. It will explore the notion of identity/difference, and diversity; gender performativity; women's and postcolonial re-visions of the
symbolic and social order; the construction of sexual difference, representations of the body; politics of location and situated knowledge in a postcolo-
15
nial perspective. The lectures will engage in the critical debates on the representation and deconstruction of the notion of gender and ‘difference' in
postcolonial and post-traumatic contexts. The course thus intends to enable
the analysis of the construction of ‘race', gender, diversity, in diverse forms
of text (theoretical, literary, visual); to approach the study of traumatic events
as a critical field within an intercultural viewpoint; to analyse politics of representation and interpretation in the inheritance and transmission of traumatic
events in a trans-generational perspective; to gain critical tools to reflect
upon diverse cultural debates, to elaborate on the interconnections between
texts and contexts, the individual and the community. The lessons will reflect
upon interrelated topics: postmemory, trauma/cultural memory and oblivion;
the issue of ‘race’ and gender with specific reference to post-traumatic contexts, including the ways in which communities are transformed, lacerated,
disrupt or, paradoxically, unified, through traumatic events. Recent traumatic
events still expose ‘race', ‘ethnicity' and gender as elements that, covertly or
overtly, inform the rhetoric of conflicts and their representations in media,
literature, cinema and visual arts. The critical sources selected will provide
methodologies, theoretical and epistemological tools for the study of heritage/transmissions of memory in post-traumatic contexts and the issue of
dislocation, deconstruction and ‘reconstruction’ of individual and collective
memories. Section 1.Politics of identity and otherness, dislocation and translation/narratives of trauma. Section 2. Displacement of reality and technologies of memory. Section 3. Postcolonial and postmodern re-readings of
traumas and memory.

WOMEN’S MOVEMENTS IN ITALIAN MODERN HISTORY: I MOVIMENTI
DELLE DONNE NELLA STORIA MODERNA E CONTEMPORANEA ITALIANA
6 ECTS
Lucia Ferrante
[email protected]
(Facoltà di Scienze Politiche, Dipartimento di Discipline Storiche, Antropologiche e Geografiche)
Il corso vuole rendere consapevole lo/a studente/ssa dell'importanza dell'appartenenza di genere da un punto di vista politico, economico e sociale mediante l'analisi di lungo periodo delle tematiche più rilevanti. Al termine del
corso lo/a studente/ssa: - conosce gli elementi basilari delle discussioni teoriche sull'argomento, - conosce le analisi di lungo periodo su alcuni temi particolarmente rilevanti, - sa riconoscere la natura e l'origine delle discriminazioni attuate nei confronti delle donne, - è in grado di compiere analisi in una
prospettiva di gender mainstreaming dei fatti politici, sociali e economici, - sa
riconoscere e commentare le politiche di women empowerment, - sa riconoscere la rilevanza di una prospettiva comparativa nel dibattito politico e culturale, - è in grado di comprendere e illustrare saggi specialistici di storia.
In primo luogo verrà affrontata la tematica dei diritti delle donne come diritti
umani. E poiché l'ambito in cui i diritti delle donne sono maggiormente violati
è quello privato, domestico e comunitario, oggetto di riflessione sarà la storia
della famiglia nel lungo periodo, con particolare attenzione alla struttura della
parentela e ai ruoli sessuali, soprattutto a quello materno. Al fine di comprendere il significato dell'appartenenza di genere verranno inoltre affrontate
due questioni cruciali nella storia politica dell'Occidente: il concetto di cittadinanza e la lotta per il diritto di voto; mentre, per quanto riguarda l'ambito economico, saranno esaminate le modalità con le quali le donne hanno avuto
accesso alle risorse (sistema ereditario, lavoro). Infine verranno analizzati
alcuni aspetti peculiari della storia della religiosità femminile.

ENGLISH WOMEN'S LITERATURE - LETTERATURA INGLESE DELLE
DONNE
6 ECTS
Gilberta Golinelli
[email protected]
(Facoltà di Lingue e Letterature Straniere, Dipartimento di Lingue e Letterature Straniere Moderne)
Il corso analizzerà la formazione del sé con particolare riferimento a questioni di genere, etnia, classe e sessualità nel periodo che va dalla prima età
moderna all’inizio del Settecento. Prendendo in esame le rappresentazioni
del corpo della donna in alcuni generi letterari (letteratura di viaggio, teatro e
romanzo), si discuterà sulle modalità con cui si sono formate, mantenute e
trasformate le identità di genere all’interno della letteratura inglese della prima età moderna. Queste rappresentazioni mettono in discussione modelli,
perpetuano e allo stesso tempo problematizzano versioni stereotipate dei
desideri e delle aspirazioni del maschile e del femminile. Il corso esaminerà
inoltre i ruoli che le donne hanno svolto nella letteratura come personaggi,
lettrici e anche scrittrici. Si intende così mostrare come si sono sviluppate e
fissate nozioni di femminilità e mascolinità, ed anche come tali nozioni hanno
stabilito e fissato relazioni di genere di potere.
The course will investigate the fashioning of the self with particular reference
to questions of gender, race, status and sexuality from the Early modern Age
to the beginning of the 18th century. By investigating the representations of
woman’s body in various literary genres (travel literature, theatre and novel),
we will discuss how identities are formed, maintained, and transformed.
These representations question role models, perpetuate and problematise
stereotypical versions of female/male goals and aspirations. The course will
also examine the roles women have played in literature as characters, readers and writers. It will also be shown how notions of masculinity and femininity have been developed and fixed, and the way they have established gender and power relations.

riflessione delle donne in rapporto alle trasformazioni della politica internazionale contemporanea. L'obiettivo è quello di analizzare in che modo tali
categorie abbiano contribuito a ripensare, secondo un'ottica di genere, dottrine e concetti propri della disciplina delle relazioni internazionali, nonché a
individuare soggetti politici e tematiche nuove all'interno di un contesto non
più determinato solo dalle dinamiche politiche e dai conflitti fra stati-nazione.
A tale proposito verranno prese in considerazioni 4 grandi aree tematiche: 1)
Movimenti transnazionali femminili: loro costituzione, organizzazione interna
e rapporto con le dinamiche storiche-politiche generali 2) Stato, nazione, impero, genere. Analisi del rapporto e delle tensioni dialettiche fra costruzione
dell'identità di genere e processi di state e nation-building. 3) Critica femminista alle teorie delle relazioni internazionali 4) Guerra, pace, relazioni internazionali e gender. Particolare attenzione sarà poi rivolta allo sviluppo dei
femminismi globali e al dibattito femminista internazionale sui diritti delle
donne come diritti umani.
Il programma per gli studenti e le studentesse frequentanti sarà illustrato in
aula.
WOMEN AND SCIENCE – DONNE E SCIENZA
6 ECTS
Zelda Franceschi
[email protected]
(Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia, Dipartimento di Discipline Storiche, Antropologiche e Geografiche)
Il corso intende affrontare da un punto di vista storico/metodologico il tema
delle autobiografie, del ritratto e della fotografia cercando di comprendere
come questi tre oggetti/strumenti possano contribuire allo studio della rappresentazione del sé e della persona.
25
Nella prima parte del corso si affronterà questo tema da un punto di vista
storico rileggendo trasversalmente la storia della disciplina e focalizzandosi
su quegli antropologi e antropologhe che hanno preso in considerazione la
metodologia autobiografica. In particolare si analizzeranno autori e autrici
della scuola americana che lavorarono con gli Indiani d’America (Paul Radin,
Alfred Kroeber, Ruth Hunderhill, Ruth Benedict).
Nella seconda parte del corso si prenderanno invece in considerazione i lavori di alcuni ricercatori che lavorarono sul campo affiancandosi al lavoro
etnografico. La pittura di George Catlin e la fotografia di Edward S.Curtis sono esempi emblematici di come antropologia visuale e arti visive possano
contribuire allo studio e alla costruzione del sé. I ritratti di Catlin e le fotografie di Curtis si intrecciano in maniera trasversale con le autobiografie raccolte
dagli antropologi.
Il corso sarà integrato da un seminario sul tema “Genere e politica in America latina”, tenuto da:
Eugenia Scarzanella
[email protected]
(Facoltà di Scienze Politiche, DPIS-Dipartimento di Politica, Istituzioni, Storia)
Nell’ambito di questo seminario si analizzerà il rapporto tra le donne e la
"nazione politica" in due periodi:
a. l’epoca del primo voto. Si tratta della stagione democratica che va dalla
prima partecipazione delle donne ad elezioni locali e nazionali negli anni
Quaranta del Novecento, alla imposizione, all’inizio degli anni Settanta, di
dittature militari che privano donne e uomini dei diritti politici.
b. L’epoca del ritorno alle urne. Si tratta della seconda stagione democratica
apertasi dopo la fine delle dittature militari all’inizio degli anni Ottanta e che
dura fino ai giorni nostri. I temi al centro del seminario saranno: i meccanismi
attraverso i quali le donne costruiscono la loro carriera all’interno dei partiti e
gli ostacoli che incontrano; le fonti del loro prestigio personale (di origine professionale e/ o familiare ); le modalità delle loro campagne elettorali; la loro
azione nelle assemblee legislative; la natura degli incarichi governativi (nazionali e locali) che vengono loro affidati; il sistema delle quote: vantaggi,
effetti, limiti, risultati; il legame tra povertà, disuguaglianza e discriminazione
nell’accesso al potere, l'esclusione e la marginalizzazione delle donne indigene, le nuove modalità di partecipazione alla politica nelle comunità rurali, il
rapporto tra cambiamenti istituzionali e cambiamenti culturali. Il seminario
prevede la discussione della letteratura esistente e l'analisi di alcuni documenti (documenti di associazioni femminili,riviste, atti di congressi, memorie,
dibattiti parlamentari, disegni di legge, atti normativi,atti di congressi, statistiche, giornali e riviste, interviste e fonti visuali, testi letterari).

WOMEN PAINTERS IN WESTERN HISTORY OF ARTS - LE DONNE PITTRICI NELLA STORIA DELL'ARTE
OCCIDENTALE
6 ECTS
Vera Fortunati
[email protected]
(Facoltà di Lingue e Letterature Straniere, Dipartimento di Arti Visive)
Donne pittrici in Europa dal Medioevo al Neoclassicismo.
Il corso intende visualizzare il ruolo della donna artista nei diversi contesti storico, politico e religioso- in Europa in un ampio arco cronologico che, partendo dal Medioevo, giunge alla fine del Settecento.
Si tratta di evidenziare l'affermazione della donna artista nell'età rinascimentale con lo svilupparsi di specifici temi iconografici: l'autoritratto e il ritratto di
famiglia (Sofonisba Anguissola); la pala d'altare e il soggetto mitologico nella
prima Controriforma (Lavinia Fontana); il teatro barocco con Artemisia Gentileschi, che rapporta biografia e produzione figurativa con innovativo sperimentalismo iconografico e stilistico. Nel Seicento il ruolo della donna artista
nell'Europa cattolica si contrappone a quello della pittrice nei paesi oltremontani: il caso di Elisabetta Sirani sarà messo a confronto con quello dell'olandese Judith Leyster per dimostrare la maggiore emancipazione dell'artista
nordica che vive nel mondo protestante. La stessa metodologia viene adottata anche nel Settecento, dove i mutamenti culturali e politici condizionano il
ruolo e la produzione figurativa dell'artista in Europa nei diversi contesti.

SUBCLUSTER B
WOMEN AND LAW – DONNE E GIURISPRUDENZA
6 ECTS
Carla Faralli
[email protected]
(Facoltà di Giurisprudenza, Dipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche «Antonio Cicu»)
Il corso Women and Law sarà incentrato sulla riflessione femminista, sui temi giuridici sia in una prospettive storica sia in una prospettiva teorica. Sul
piano storico ad una prima fase del pensiero femminista, che può definirsi
dell'eguaglianza, caratterizzata dalle battaglie per la parità tra i sessi, è seguita una seconda fase, cosiddetta della differenza, tesa alla rivendicazione
della specificità dei caratteri femminili, valorizzando anche le differenze di
classe, di cultura, di religione tra le donne. Durante il corso si affronteranno i
temi dell' eguaglianza, della non discriminazione, del carattere sessuato del
diritto ecc., attraverso l'esame della normativa e di testi di autorevoli esponenti del dibattito contemporaneo.
Particolare attenzione sarà dedicata ai temi di bioetica e biodiritto nell'ottica
dell'etica della cura.

The MA Thesis is crucial and a required part of the GEMMA Programme. It
should build on the knowledge and skills acquired, and show that the student
is capable of original, independent research. It takes the form of a research
report or treatise, written individually,
from a feminist/gender perspective, on a relevant subject chosen by the student and agreed with the supervisor.
Length: 20,000-30,000 words.
Subject: Relevant to Women’s Studies, and original, showing a new insight
into the matter. Clearly formulated, with a theoretical framework and a valid
conclusion confronted with former theories.
Languages: The Institution awarding the credits for the Master Thesis will
decide upon the language in which the Thesis should be written. At any rate,
it should be one of the three official languages of the Consortium (English,
Italian, Spanish).
Format:
Institution of Submission Cover Page: Title, researcher’s and both (main
and support) supervisors’ names, institution/department and year of submission, and institutional logo, if applicable (according to local rules).
GEMMA Consortium Cover Page: Contents as cover page, with approval
signed by main supervisor and GEMMA logos.
Abstract: In the same language chosen for the MA Thesis and the partner
institution
language (if different), no longer than 300 words each.
Referencing: Following the rules of the institution awarding the credits, as
indicated by the supervisor and official guidelines.
Registration:
If necessary, the thesis will be registered following procedures of the university of submission, by the beginning of the fourth semester.
Consortium registration: All students must submit their Thesis title, an abstract (300 words approx.), and main and support supervisors names and
emails to the Home and Mobility University Coordinators by email (with copy
to [email protected]) by 1st February of the second year. Exceptionally, for
the 2008/2009 academic year, this date will be 6th March 2009.
31
Supervision:
The institution awarding the credits, via the local GEMMA Coordinator, will
allocate a main supervisor, attending to criteria of relevance to subject,
availability of staff, and student choice. The other partner institution involved
(home/mobility), via its GEMMA coordinator, will assign a support supervisor. Both will be allocated by the second week of the 4th semester at the
latest.
The thesis will be supervised primarily by the main supervisor, who will follow the procedures of her institution. Contact with the student will include at
least a preliminary research design meeting and two progress interviews before the final draft.
The support supervisor will approve of the research design at the beginning
of the fourth semester and final draft before the submission of thesis.
Prior to the submission of the thesis, both supervisors will write a final report
(500 words maximum) to be submitted to the board of examiners nominated
by the awarding institution.
Submission and assessment:
Theses should be submitted and defended (if applicable) following the procedures and dates of the awarding institution, and always before 30th September. Consortium universities may establish provisions for the extension of
this date according to their own rules and regulations. When needed, Consortium universities will establish an earlier submission date so that beneficiaries of the Erasmus Mundus scholarship can comply with the 24 months’
duration of such scholarship.
The assessment will be carried out by a board of examiners nominated by
the awarding institution, and will include the participation of the support supervisor (or another member of staff from the partner institution), either in the
viva/defence or by means of a written report.
Evaluation criteria will be made public in advance and the ECTS grading
system will be used.

A Bologna le realtà femministe, lesbiche, gay, trans e queer sono tante e
attive: collettivi, associazioni e reti rappresentano a Bologna importanti centri
di cultura e lotta da decenni.
Tra queste realtà, e ai fini di un approfondimento accademico degli studi di
genere e delle donne, ricordiamo i principali centri di documentazione:
1. Il Centro di documentazione, ricerca e iniziativa delle donne di Bologna nasce da un progetto di "Orlando" - associazione di donne - che lo gestisce in convenzione con il Comune di Bologna dal 1982. Il Centro si occupa di promuovere pensiero e protagonismo femminile nella società e sostiene il diffondersi di politiche e iniziative attente alle relazioni e alle differenze
di genere. Spazio pubblico legato ai femminismi e ai movimenti di donne in
Italia e nel mondo, unisce, all'offerta di luoghi, strutture e servizi a singole e
aggregazioni di donne, la proposta di temi e occasioni di pensiero e ricerca.

La Biblioteca, parte integrale del Centro fin dalle origini, è oggi in Italia la
principale istituzione bibliotecaria specializzata al femminile. Il servizio pubblico di tipo specialistico, multidisciplinare e multilingue, ricopre numerose
aree tematiche: femminismo, lavoro, narrativa, poesia, politica, diritto, sessualità, costume, arti, scienze, storia, psicologia, psicoanalisi filosofia, religione ecc.

la città.
Al MIT si trovano un centro di documentazione con una biblioteca e un archivio di materiale video, fotografico e cartaceo che si occupa della raccolta,
della conservazione e della diffusione della cultura e dell’immagine trans nella storia e nel mondo.

rules and academic regulations. It is important for students to be familiar with these texts and it is advisable to take
some time to read them at the beginning of the academic year. The information contained in this handbook is posted

a holistic approach to student development and support, Student Services are also the contact point for other functions such as health and counseling services, health insurance, housing, food services, sports, student out-of-class
involvement, and various student activities. In a conscious effort to reflect the broad geographic diversity of the CEU
student body, CEU Student Services employ staff members from countries of the region and beyond, some of whom
are CEU graduates themselves.

HEALTH INSURANCE
All students are informed about health insurance upon admission to CEU. You can read about
insurance-related issues at http://www.ceu.hu/studentlife/current/health-insurance
FIRE REGULATIONS AND EVACUATION PROCEDURES
All students, employees and visitors should fully acquaint themselves with actions to be taken in
case of fire, bomb alerts or other emergencies. Instructions are displayed in all rooms and elevators
of the university complex detailing these actions. (“In case of Fire” notices)
A training session on fire safety, and on health and safety, is obligatory for every student and
employee in each academic year. Drills are also organized in order to ensure that evacuation procedures can be carried out smoothly in case of emergency.
Fire escapes routes are marked in each building by international symbols of green/white lights. In
case of a fire everyone should spread the alarm and evacuate the respective building immediately
through the nearest emergency exit. The use of elevators is not allowed. The escape routes and
doors must not be blocked even for short periods of time.
Smoke and fire detectors are installed in all CEU buildings. Fires or areas of smoke will automatically
sound the alarms. (Hereby please note also that smoking is allowed only in the designated smoking
areas.)
Sprinkler systems have also been installed and will be activated in the event of fire. These are sensitive and should not be tampered with.
Anyone noticing a fire should call the dispatcher by dialing 2222 in the Nador complex or 5555 in
the Residence Center, or use the nearest alarm box in the corridor. The Fire Marshall’s emergency
toll-free number in Hungary is 105.
In the case of a fire emergency call, the following information must be given:
• the exact location of the fire,
• what is burning,
• who and what is in danger,
• people injured or dead,
• the name of the person who is reporting the fire.

notifying the appropriate authorities. They should identify themselves and the location from which
they are calling, as well as briefly describe the problem and the conditions of the situation. They
should not leave—if possible—the location from which the emergency call was placed.
In case of sexual offenses/complaints it is important to report the incident as soon as possible.
The victim should seek immediate medical attention. Upon receipt of a call, the security guards will
initially investigate each reported incident, prepare and submit appropriate reports for use by CEU
authorities and, potentially, the police. If a crime appears to have been committed, security guards
shall immediately call the police and secure the location to protect evidence.

ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES
STUDENT ORIENTATION (PRE-SESSION)
CEU has developed an Orientation Program for new students, designed to familiarize them with
their academic departments, university services, and housing arrangements during their residence in Hungary. The Orientation Program comprises a series of in-person meetings upon arrival.
Students not staying at the Residence Center are fully assisted in finding suitable accommodation
during the first two weeks after arrival. The Budget and Finance Office advises on banking arrange34

ments and various payment procedures. The Information Technology Department introduces students to the CEU computer network and user regulations, the Center for Academic Writing conducts
an ongoing academic writing program.
The Online Orientation can be accessed at http://www.ceu.hu/studentlife/current/onlineorientation.
The page is designed to help students gather pre-departure information about Budapest and the
university and to find their way around once they are in Budapest.
REGISTRATION IN THE UNIVERSITY INFORMATION SYSTEM (UIS)
CEU has developed its own integrated information network, called the University Information
System (UIS). Course registration, add/drop, grading and degree application are all computerized
and students are responsible for conducting all necessary procedures in connection with their registration. UIS also provides on-line information about courses, grades, and class schedules, as well
as information on rental accommodation available in the city.
The University Information System can be accessed at https://infosys.ceu.hu.
The online graduation form and registration UIS can be accessed from outside CEU at
https://studentinfo.ceu.hu.
The Student Records Manual can be downloaded from. http://www.ceu.hu/sro/useful

LEAVING PROCEDURE
At the end of the academic year, each student is required to fill out the on-line graduation form and
submit a leaving form indicating that the individual has no outstanding debts or obligations to the
university. Failure to submit the form, or unresolved obligations, will result in the withholding of the
individual’s diploma and other university services, according to the CEU Policy on Holds.
Those students who cut short their studies during the academic year (e.g. failed, enrollment terminated, left) will still be required to complete the “Leaving Form”. It is CEU’s obligation to notify the
Immigration Office in writing about the changes in student status and students who fail to follow
this procedure may face serious problems with the local authorities.

Gender Studies at the University of Hull
Why Study Gender?
Gender issues have become a major focus within both academic and political
spheres as a consequence of the changing relationships between women and
men throughout the world. Most national and supranational organisations,
such as the United Nations, the World Health Organisation, the World Bank
and the European Union, now have gender agendas and are, publicly at least,
keen to promote the participation of women in all spheres. Gender has never
been more crucial: transformations in gender relations have had a profound
impact on economies and social relations worldwide. These transformations
have also had a profound theoretical impact across the social sciences,
philosophy and literature. They have influenced international policy making,
not least on equal opportunities in employment. Globally, gender issues are
now a focus and preoccupation for political activity and social movements of
all kinds. The UN conferences on women demonstrate the pervasive
commitment of key decision makers to gender-related issues. Within this
context, the University of Hull’s postgraduate programmes in Gender Studies
are making a major contribution to an established but still developing
academic and political agenda. The breadth and depth of our teaching and
research, together with the Journal of Gender Studies and the Centre for
Gender Studies, make the University of Hull one of the leading centres for the
study of gender studies in Europe.
A Radical City
Hull and East Yorkshire has a long history of feminism since the eighteen
century philosopher and mother of First Wave Feminism, Mary
Wollstonecraft, spent her formative years in Beverley, East Yorkshire. She
wrote a number of books on the education of women, and most famously
published A Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792. In this she argued that
3
both men and women were rational beings and should be treated as such: a
radical proposition at that time. Hull University’s Department of Philosophy
and the Centre for Gender Studies holds an annual public lecture in honour of
Wollstonecraft. The East Riding was also home in the early 1900s to the
novelist, feminist and anti-racist Winifred Holtby. Organised feminism has
existed here since the spring of 1968, when a Women’s Rights Group was
formed around the campaign led by Lil Bilocca and the fishermen’s wives to
improve the safety of trawlers. In the 1970s, six more groups emerged: a
Working Women’s Charter Group, a Women’s Committee of the Hull Trades
Council, Women’s Aid, Hull Women’s Centre, a National Abortion Campaign
Group and a University Union Women’s Group. In the early 1980s a further
group, Humberside Women in Education, was founded to work towards
equal opportunities in schools. This was followed by the foundation of the
Centre for Gender Studies in the mid 1980s. There continues to be a vibrant
and active network of women’s centres, services and groups promoting
gender equality across the city with strong links to Gender Studies. Students
of Gender Studies are encouraged to get involved in one of the active
women’s centres operating in the city, for example, Hull Women’s Centre in
the city centre which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2009, and North Hull
Women’s Centre serving north Hull near to the University Campus.
Hull Centre for Gender Studies
Since its foundation in 1986, the Centre has run regular seminars which have
attracted high-profile speakers such as Suzanne Moore, Beatrix Campbell,
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Hilary Rose, Sheila Rowbotham, Val Miner, Patricia
Waugh and Margaret Whitford. Contributions have also been made by a
range of international speakers from Pakistan, India, Russia, France, Holland,
the Sudan, Australia, China, the USA, Chile, South Korea, Thailand, Eastern
Europe and South Africa. Links have been established with gender and
women’s studies centres in many of these countries. The centre also hosts day
conferences which have been well attended. Topics have included Men and
Masculinities, Feminism and Nationalism, Women and Work, Feminism and
the Subject, Gender Studies in the 90s and Refugee Women.
Centre for Gender Studies Postgraduate Conference
The Centre for Gender Studies hold regular one day interdisciplinary
conferences for postgraduates in the University who have an interest in
gender issues and research. The last conference The Story of Why I am Here:
Questions and Methods in Gender Research, was held on 4th November 2009
and was a attended by over 70 delegates from across the university and
4
beyond, providing a critical forum for debate and an opportunity for students
and staff to network and discuss their research and ideas. GEMMA students
are strongly encouraged to attend such events.
The Journal of Gender Studies
The success of the Centre for Gender Studies led to the launch of the Journal
of Gender Studies in May 1991, now a flagship for Gender Studies at the
University of Hull. Its editorial board is in part drawn from Hull Centre
members (Dr Clisby, Dr Alsop, Dr Jagger, Dr Gonzalez-Arnal, Dr Capern, for
example are all editorial board members) and an advisory board representing
gender interests worldwide. The journal is interdisciplinary and international,
published by Carfax Publishers and has a thriving international subscription
list. Special issues have covered topics such as postcolonialism,
transgendering, and the future of feminist fiction. Sample copies and the
latest contents can be viewed at:
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/carfax/09589236.html
The Suite of Postgraduate Degrees in Gender Studies
The Master’s Programmes in Gender Studies are innovative and highly
distinctive in that they are all interdisciplinary, enabling students to study
gender issues and theories through the lens of social science, politics,
philosophy and literature and history.
The MA Gender and Development and the MSc Applied Social Research
(Gender Studies) are offered at both Masters and Diploma level and are
available as one year full time or two year part-time programmes. The MSc
Applied Social Research (Gender Studies) is validated by the Economic and
Social Research Council (ESRC) and eligible for the 1 + 3 PhD scholarship
programme for UK applicants. The European Dual Award MA Women’s and
Gender Studies (GEMMA) is recognised and funded through the European
Commission’s Erasmus Mundus full scholarship scheme for which both EU
and non-EU applicants are eligible. GEMMA is a two year programme
leading to two Master’s degrees and is available for full time study only.
In 2012-13 we are planning to launch a new MA Equality, Diversity and the
Law which will provide specialist training in the field, for example in relation
to the requirements of the Gender Equality Duty and Human Rights Act, and
be closely linked to needs of employers and those working in this growing
sector.
5
Students can subsequently progress their academic studies from the Masters
level onto research degrees in Gender Studies at MPhil and PhD levels with
specialist one-to-one supervision in their research field.

Introduction
The MA Women’s and Gender Studies (GEMMA) programme, which was
launched in 2007, is the newest addition to our suite of postgraduate
programmes. It is also the first of its kind worldwide and is recognised as a
‘Masters of Excellence’ by the European Commission. It offers students an
exciting opportunity to study Women’s and Gender Studies both at the
University of Hull and at one of six partner Universities in Europe. This is a
two-year programme and successful candidates graduate with a Dual Award:
a Masters degree from both the University of Hull and from their chosen
partner institution: University of Granada (Spain), University of Oviedo
(Spain), University of Utrecht (Netherlands), University of Bologna (Italy),
Lödz University (Poland) and Central European University (Budapest,
Hungary).
The aim of this programme is to deliver a taught Masters programme over
two years in partnership with the University of Granada as the central
coordinating institution of the GEMMA programme as a whole. The MA
6
programme combines a range of institutionally specific optional modules
with a set of core modules common to each European partner. The
programme totals 240 credits (120 European Credit Transfer System), of
which 180 credits (90 ECTS) are taught and 60 credits (30 ECTS) are for the
final extended dissertation (20,000 - 30,000 words).
Course Content and Structure
This is an interdisciplinary programme, providing students with a theoretical
underpinning in gender studies and the opportunity to study gender issues
from a variety of perspectives and academic disciplines. The programme
develops student’s advanced knowledge and understanding of contemporary
gender theories and substantive issues. Students who complete the MA
Women’s and Gender Studies will be able to:
(a) command an advanced and critical knowledge of contemporary
gender theories and debates
(b) critically apply an interdisciplinary approach to the study of gender
(c) demonstrate an advanced understanding of research methods
relevant to their particular field of interest in women’s and gender
studies and analyse the social, ethical and political implications of
feminist research
The programme is structured as follows: students will spend their first year in
the ‘home’ institution (in this case Hull University) completing all taught core
modules (60 credits) and 60 credits of their optional modules, totalling 120
credits (60 ECTS). They then spend either one or two semesters in their
selected partner institution. They take 60 credits (30 ECTS) of options in
semester one in the partner institution and then can return to their home
institution in semester two to complete their final dissertation (60
credits/30ECTS). Alternatively they may remain at the partner institution
during semester two and complete the dissertation there under joint
supervision between their home and mobility partners. In a slight change to
the programme since 2010, Non-EU students whose partner University is
Utrecht are now required to remain in Utrecht for both semesters of their final
year and complete their dissertations there.
In essence, then, this programme differs from the standard one-year full time
programme in two respects, it entails a second year during which time
students have the opportunity to study at a partner institution for one or two
semesters where they complete an additional 60 credits (30 ECTS) of optional
modules in semester one and the final stage 60 (30 ECTS) credit dissertation in
semester two. The languages of instruction at the partner institutions are
English, Spanish and Italian, depending on the chosen location. Students
7
must have proof of proficiency in the language of instruction. The language of
instruction at the University of Hull is English.
Thus, at Hull University:
First year students must take 120 taught credits across semesters one
and two. In accordance with University regulations, the balance
should be no greater than 70/50 in each semester. 60 credits are
comprised of core modules and 60 credits of optional module
choices.
Second year students take 60 credits of options in semester one and
undertake their final 60 credit dissertation in semester 2.
Please note 20 credits at the University of Hull equates to 10
European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The credits below are set
out as Hull credits not as ECTS credits.

Purposes (up to 3 students permitted,

MA Women’s and Gender Studies (GEMMA) Quality and
Standards Framework
1.
Student Progression
1.1
The regulations of the teaching institutions at which GEMMA students are
physically located apply even though those regulations may differ between
institutions.
1.2
Students progress through three stages: certificate, diploma and dissertation stage.
Students must satisfy the progression requirements of each stage in order to progress
to the next. These requirements may vary between institutions and students must
familiarize themselves with the regulations of their home and mobility institutions.
GEMMA Coordinators have a duty to ensure students have access to the relevant
information at their institutions.
12
1.3
Failure to satisfy progression requirements of the teaching institution means the
candidate is not entitled to progress on the double award but may be eligible for a
single award of one of the other institutions. Any concerns with regards candidates’
satisfactory progression will be presented to the Joint Board of Studies.
1.4
Unfair means: students are subject to the unfair means and plagiarism regulations of
the institutions they are located at. Records of allegations of unfair means and/or
plagiarism against a GEMMA candidate must be presented to the Joint Board of
Studies (GEMMA).
1.5
No institution will award either of the dual awards until the candidate has satisfied
the requirements of both awards. This will be reviewed and confirmed at the Joint
Board of Studies.
1.6
Classification of degrees: the conversion and comparability of degrees across partner
institutions is outlined in the Diploma Supplement.
2.
Language of assessment and study
2.1
The language of study and assessment may be Italian, Spanish or English according
to the language of study of the institution the candidate is located, and where the
credit will be awarded.
3.
Boards of examiners
3.1
Each teaching institution will be responsible for holding a board of examiners in
accordance with its own framework. It is desirable for members of other institutions
to be represented at and involved with other boards as a way of promoting
consideration of the comparability of academic standards.
3.2
Assessments taken at each institution will be examined in accordance with the
regulations for boards of examiners at the awarding institution. (n.b. at the
University of Hull there is an appointed external examiner who has oversight of
assessments and is present at the exam boards). Assessment grades, transcripts and
relevant reports will be shared at the Joint Board of Studies (GEMMA).
3.3
Dissertations will be primarily supervised by nominated staff at the institution
awarding the credit but a second supervisor from the candidate’s partner (either
home or mobility) university will liaise with both the first supervisor and the
candidate and present their report on the dissertation to the first supervisor and
board of examiners. Reports on dissertations should not normally exceed one side of
A4. Dissertation reports will be shared with the Joint Board of Studies (GEMMA)
Samples of dissertations with the recommended grades and examiners reports can be
requested by board of examiners at either the home or mobility university regardless
of which partner institution was awarding the credit. Nevertheless the board of
examiners at the partner university not awarding the credits cannot over ride the
final decision of the awarding institution.
4.
Transcripts and certificates
13
4.1
The responsibility for producing and issuing clear transcripts of grades and final
degree certificates lies with the awarding institutions. The final degree certificates
should indicate that this is a dual award in partnership with ‘X’ institution. This
demonstrates mutual recognition of the dual award.
5.
Programme approval, monitoring and review
5.1
While responsibility for each programme rests with the teaching institution, the
GEMMA consortium and Joint Board of Studies shares ownership of the ‘package of
programmes’ capable of resulting in a dual award.
5.2
Facilitated through the Joint Board of Studies, there will be a process of monitoring
and review shared across the partners, informed by individual processes of review at
the home/awarding institution.
5.3
The Joint Board of Studies will facilitate cross institution consideration (especially in
terms of considering comparability of standards, comparability of the learning
experience, and strengthening further the partnerships between institutions)
5.4
The programme is subject to review by the University of Hull as part of its ongoing
programme of periodic review.
6.
Appeals and complaints
6.1
Candidates will be subject to the rights afforded under the regulations of the home
institution.
6.2
The Joint Board of Studies must consider the variability and comparability of appeals
and complaints regulations across the Consortium.
6.3
Any contractual relationship is between the student and the teaching institution and
therefore subject to the law of the jurisdiction in which that institution operates.
7.
Student experience
7.1
Students will be treated in accordance with the regulations and procedures of their
teaching institution. They have access to all the facilities afforded to postgraduate
students at their teaching institution, including the facilities in place to support
students with specific needs and disabilities.
7.2
Students have the right to a process of induction and supervision at their teaching
institution but these processes may vary between institutions.

Aims and Distinctive Features
The module will enable students to gain an understanding of the key
methodological debates within women's and gender studies. It will assess the
use and applicability of quantitative and qualitative methods to the
investigation of gender divisions and divisions among women. The module
will explore the methodological issues of power in the research process,
fieldwork relationships, researcher self-reflexivity and research ethics. It will
also include a consideration of 'what' and 'who' are appropriate topics for
feminist research. Diversity, difference and intersectionality between women
and men on the basis of integrated axes such as gender, class, ethnicity,
sexuality and generation and their effects of inclusion and exclusion form an
underlying tool for understandings of research methods. Epistemological
approaches associated with standpoint theory and situated knowledge are
explored as well as the praxis of feminist research. The module will also
explore discourse and narrative analyses and the use of web, bibliographical
and documentary searches as research tools.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning Outcomes
The module has the following Learning Outcomes:
1: Understanding of relationship between theory, methodology, technique
and policy making.
2: Appreciation of the variety of methodological and theoretical techniques
and viewpoints relating to gender and the implications this has for the
research process
3: Ability to evaluate techniques of social research in social sciences and to
appreciate the role of epistemology in the research process.
4: Appreciation of theoretical, practical and ethical issues relating to a
critical/emancipatory paradigm of research.
5: Ability to critically select appropriate research techniques to apply to
empirical enquiries regarding gender
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning and Teaching Strategies
The module will be taught in a combination of seminars and small group
discussions on a weekly basis over 10 weeks.

Credits 20
European Credit Transfer Scheme 10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Module Rationale
This module aims to develop student's scope for independent learning, focusing on
two key issues: the interaction between personal and academic learning; the impact
of feminist ideas on the formation of knowledge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aims and Distinctive Features
This module aims firstly, to assist students in developing the ability to reflect on and
critically analyse their learning experience and secondly, to enhance their
understanding of the ways in which feminism has engaged with and transformed a
particular area of knowledge. In both cases it is the aim of the module to further
develop the students' understanding of feminist theories as they relate to academic
work and individual learning processes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning Outcomes
The module has the following Learning Outcomes:
The capacity to reflect critically on the impact of feminist ideas on both personal
learning and academic knowledge, demonstrating the ability to work independently
and to use library resources.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning and Teaching Strategies
The following learning and teaching strategies are used within this module:
21
The module runs over 2 semesters and consists of 3 x 1-hour supervision sessions
plus individual meetings arranged with the appointed Gender Studies supervisor as
necessary.
One introductory session takes place at the beginning of semester 1, a progress
session at the beginning of semester 2 and a final feedback session at the end of
semester 2. Failure to complete the personal learning journal and to submit the
learning statements will result in an overall fail.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Assessment Strategies
The following assessment strategies are used within this module:
Students keep a personal learning journal which is condensed into two submitted
learning statements of 1000 words each, one to be handed in at the end of semester 1
and one and the end of semester 2.
The learning statements have to be submitted in the correct form to pass the module
but no mark is awarded
Failure to complete the personal learning journal and to submit the learning
statements will result in an overall fail.
Additionally the students submit a 2000 word report detailing the impact of feminist
thought on a particular field of enquiry plus an extended annotated (approx 2000
words) bibliography. A module mark is given for this work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Arrangements for Revision and Private Study
Independent learning is central to this module. Students are asked to keep a personal
learning journal throughout the two semesters. This is solely for the students and is
not submitted for assessment in its entirety, although students are required to
produce a summary document. Additionally, the student undertakes independent
library-based research exploring the impact of feminist thought on a particular study
area and assembling an extended bibliography of relevant sources.

European Credit Transfer Scheme 10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Module Rationale
Presents recent interdisciplinary work on the body and society.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aims and Distinctive Features
Recent developments across the social sciences and humanities have come to
recognise how the human body mediates social structure and social action. Through
this rich interdisciplinary work, the module explores social aspects of the body and
embodiment in comparative context. It aims to show how sociological approaches
which situate the body at the centre of issues and concerns can develop rigorous
enquiry and produce startling new insights, engaging with the tension between
essentialist and social constructionist approaches to the body in social theory, but
also considering work which takes us beyond the nature/culture division. (2007
Sociology Benchmarks 1.1-1.7).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning Outcomes
The module has the following Learning Outcomes:
1: Understand how the body has been central to rethinking major issues for the social
sciences. (2007 Sociology Benchmarks, 3.2.1,.2,.4).
2: Develop and apply knowledge of social theory and comparative historical and
cross-cultural analysis of the body as a social, cultural and political fact. (2007
Sociology Benchmarks,4.3.2, .3, .5, .6, .7).
3: Develop an understanding of the links between culture, politics and the social and
how these are mediated by the body. (2007 Sociology Benchmarks 3.2.5,.6,.9; 4.3.8).
4: Develop transferable skills in presentation, teamwork and leading discussion,
drawing on a range of sources (2007 Sociology Benchmarks, 4.2.2, .4, .5, .6, .7; 4.3.5).

Module Rationale
The module reflects existing and emerging research interests of the team, specifically:
Tony Ward's research focus on evidence in cases of child sex abuse and rape; Bev
Clucas' interest in law and religion, and Ayesha Shahid's work in family law.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aims and Distinctive Features
This module has the distinctive aim of contextualising modern questions of sex,
sexuality and gender against the background of a society and legal system which has
its roots in Judaeo-Christian norms. Questions of how we live our lives well are
popularly seen as issues of personal morality and state interest. This law module's
consideration of sex, sexuality and gender in our society - topics of live
contemporary debate within Christianity -- gives appropriate attention to the two
principal institutions which have had and still have primary jurisdiction over the
ordering of our lives: the Christian religion and law.
One of the next steps identified by Jeremy Clines in Faiths in Higher Education
Chaplaincy (a report commissioned by the Church of England Board of Education,
2008) is to consider whether there are ways of "including 'social, cultural, moral and
spiritual development' topics in the curriculum in a way that would help members of
an academic community to develop a sophistication of discourse in addressing
religion and belief issues" (at p. 119). This module, integrating historical and
contemporary questions of law, religion and ethics, might be seen as a contribution
towards that goal.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning Outcomes
The module has the following Learning Outcomes:
1. Appreciate the role of law and religion/the Christian church within society,
within historical and contemporary contexts;
2. Extract information from some of the relevant primary texts studied on the
course.
3. Read complex primary and secondary materials and summarise the key
arguments;
4. Communicate arguments and ideas effectively.
5. Identify some concepts and debates in the areas of sex, sexuality and gender;
6. Show an elementary awareness of how these issues relate to and differ from
one another;
7. Describe in basic terms one or more of the central positions taught on the
course.
8. Recognise at least one theory or ethical standpoint that has some application
to a problem raised;
9. Attempt to apply knowledge of one or more theory or ethical standpoint to a
particular problem;
10. Acknowledge the relationship of theoretical and ethical arguments to some
recurring legal and religious problems.
11. Recognise and discuss at a basic level some areas of theoretical and
conceptual debate about law and religion in the context of sex, sexuality and
gender;
12. Develop an opinion upon issues in this course that draws to some extent
upon approaches and ideas studied.

feature of the module is its comparative approach to the two 'fins de siecles' (the
transitional decades of the turns of the 19th and 20th centuries).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning Outcomes
The module has the following Learning Outcomes:
1: place the cultural production and transformation of the Gothic and images of
monstrosity within the historical and socio-cultural context of the 'fin de siecle' and
the turn of the twentieth century.
2: demonstrate the ability to assess diverse cultural discourses of gender and
deviance underlying the 'monster myth' and to analyse the way in which these
discourses are reflected by, satirized in, and subverted by literary texts and in film.
3: demonstrate a solid grasp of the revisionary strategies a number of contemporary
women writers have adopted in order to de-reconstruct, demystify, transform and
subvert cultural myths and narratives about the female monstrous, femininity, and
deviance.
4: show familiarity with feminist/gender, psychoanalytic and other critical theories
and be able to apply critical concepts to the detailed analysis of selected set texts.
5: demonstrate the ability to deliver structured, analytically astute, and theoretically
informed oral presentations.
6: show detailed understanding of critical methodologies in the field, and be able to
apply these in oral and written work.

Indicative Content
The emergence of cultural fears of ?monsters? is particularly vibrant in the collective
unconscious in times of political, social, and cultural upheavals, such as the turn of
centuries, which spell beginnings and endings, the loss of old belief structures and
the quest for new certainties, confusion and experimentation. What do the prevailing
images of monstrosity of the 1880s to 1900s and 1980s to the present tell us about the
fears and fantasies of the time, and how are these anxieties reflected and
conceptualised in Gothic terms in literature and other forms of cultural production
such as film? Drawing on feminist and psychoanalytic theory, we will discuss the
cultural and psychological constructions of moral 'evil' and sexual danger attributed
to the (gendered, raced, sexed, classed) Other at the two 'fins de siecle' and explore
the ways in which contemporary writers have adapted, modernised, politicized, and
subverted Victorian forms of Gothic. The course will be accompanied by separate
video sessions, three of which are compulsory.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aims and Distinctive Features
43
This module both extends and further develops themes explored throughout
Encountering Development: Why Gender Matters. It aims to extend students'
knowledge and understandings of contemporary issues in gender and development
in a global context, providing an in-depth critical perspective on development issues
from a gendered perspective. This module is proportionately student-led, some
themes collectively chosen and developed, dependent on individual areas of
expertise or interest. Nevertheless, key areas for analysis include theoretical and
practical approaches to gender analyses, feminist critiques of post-modernity and
neo-coloniality, the nature of globalisation and the place of masculinities and male
identities within GAD. Other issues covered can include, for example, gendered
dimensions of health and reproduction, macro and micro impacts of AIDs, macromicro linkages in political mobilisation, the place of children and concepts of
childhood within development, and indigenous peoples and the impacts of
development. There is a focus throughout upon analyses of both theoretical
syntheses and ethnographic research within specific regional and cross-cultural
contexts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning Outcomes
The module has the following Learning Outcomes:
Building upon the outcomes for Encountering Development, students completing
this module will be further sensitised to a range of perspectives relevant to policy
dimensions of governments and non-governmental agencies in developing countries.
They will have an understanding of both historical trends and current development
theories and approaches, with emphasis being placed on deeper explorations of
gender analyses of development.
Through student participation in the design of a proportion of this module, and
through their selected presentations, students are given the opportunity to develop
areas of individual interest, and summarise and synthesise their ideas and
hypotheses, which in turn can inform their MA dissertation topics.
Students will be in a position to critically analyse diverse linkages between
seemingly different areas of global change and development discourses from a
gendered perspective.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning and Teaching Strategies
Weekly 2 hour seminars over 12 weeks. Through a combination of lectures, films,
seminar discussions and presentations, the students are able to gain an holistic
perspective of a range of key theoretical and substantive gender and development
issues pertaining to the above learning outcomes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Assessment Strategies
One essay of 3,000 words (60% of total marks) and one seminar presentation (5% of
total marks) with accompanying written report of 1500 words (35% of total marks).
The essay requires knowledge of a range of both theoretical and substantive issues
covered throughout the module. The presentation and report requires the students to
critically analyse and synthesise key theories and concepts within their chosen topic
area, present these coherently and with a clear critical engagement and produce a
report on the presentation themes and analyses.

Credits 20
European Credit Transfer Scheme 10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Module Rationale
This module is one of the core elements of the MA/LLM in Criminology and Human
Rights. The module provides an essential link between the legal and criminological
elements of the degree, by considering how a criminological perspective can shed
light on violations of international human rights law, and how far legal definitions of
international crimes are appropriate for criminological purposes. The module will
also be of interest to international law students who have some prior knowledge of
47
criminology and who wish to gain a broader perspective on international human
rights, humanitarian and criminal law.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aims and Distinctive Features
The overall aim of the module is to introduce students to criminological perspectives
on human rights violations. The module is distinctive in its combination of legal and
criminological perspectives, and in focussing on international crimes which are not
discussed in depth in other criminology modules. In discussing criminological
perspectives attention will also be given to cognate disciplines including
anthropology, international relations, political science and social psychology. Forms
of crime to be studied will include torture, state terrorism (disappearances, death
squads, etc.), war crimes and genocide. Human rights violations by parties to
internal armed conflicts, and the complicity of states in human rights violations by
organized crime groups, paramilitaries and corporations, will also be considered.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning Outcomes
The module has the following Learning Outcomes:
Demonstrate and present a sound knowledge and understanding of the
extent and possible causes of major human rights violations.
Demonstrate critical thought on these issues by presenting informed and
reasoned arguments about the causes of human rights violations from a
criminological perspective.
Demonstrate a broader understanding of these issues in the context of
criminology, international law, and relevant aspects of related disciplines
such as anthropology, social psychology and international relations.
Undertake independent study and research.
Effectively communicate their ideas and the results of independent research.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning and Teaching Strategies
Weekly two hour seminars
Independent study and research by finding information on recent events relevant to
the topic (much of the relevant literature is readily available on the internet).
Students will be expected to communicate their findings to the seminar and to
engage in critical discussion of them from a criminological point of view.

14120: Gender in Popular Culture
Semester 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Module Level 7
Credits 20
European Credit Transfer Scheme 10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aims and Distinctive Features
The aim of this module is to analyse the concepts of masculinity and femininity
developed in recent popular fiction and film. The module will consider theoretical
perspectives on popular fiction relevant to writing and gender (the relationship
between high art and popular fiction, reviewing patterns and canon formation). The
seminars will combine the discussion of masculinity and femininity with an
introduction to the critical theories developed around the various subgenres. The
module will analyse texts belonging to a number of genres central to contemporary
popular fiction and film: crime fiction, chick lit and ladlit, war stories and Real Crime
narratives.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning Outcomes
The module has the following Learning Outcomes:
49
1: demonstrate familiarity with the terminology and key concepts concerning genre
theory and the critical analysis of popular fiction.
2: correlate the depiction of gender in relation to the audiences, themes and critical
theories of the various subgenres.
3: analyse and compare individual texts from the perspective of gender and
ideology.
4: take part in an informed discussion on the relationship of popular fiction with the
canon and with expressions of high culture.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning and Teaching Strategies
The module will be taught by means of ten two-hour seminars, consisting mainly of
student-led presentations followed by group discussion. The module will include
three film viewings in addition to the seminar sessions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Assessment Strategies
Two 2,500 word comparative essays.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Indicative Content
The module will cover a range of genres currently dominating popular fiction with
the aim of investigating how gender interacts with genre, how different aspects of
masculinity and femininity are highlighted when addressing separate, generically
determined audience segments. Because of popular fiction's explicit commercial
interest popular genres try at once to reflect and comment on contemporary social
developments. As forms of fiction and film developing outside of high literature and
high art, however, popular novels and films can also experiment with transgressing
accepted or politically correct images of gender.
An introductory section will discuss the theoretical position of popular culture,
including the linked and at times oppositional topics of popular fiction, pulp fiction,
cult fiction and the canon. The popular genres and works under discussion are all
characterized by a rapid transfer between media, from print to screen. They also
share links with journalism, so that their reflection in journalistic articles will be
investigated, while the power, function and process of reviewing in establishing new
authors and genres will be traced. Finally, critical perspectives regarding the
existence of an active or passive readership will be investigated.
Of the popular genres under consideration, the new categories of Chick Lit and
Ladlit have undoubtedly been recent publishing phenomena. Here gender will be
considered in a postfeminist framework, and links with social change and
consumerism will be investigated. The interaction between high culture and popular
culture will be investigated via another recent subgenre, the sequels to canonical
romantic novels by female authors such as Jane Austen and Rebecca du Maurier,
while the current popularity of war narratives will reflect a specific perspective on
masculinity. A final section of the module will be devoted to crime fiction including
the journalistic perception of the male and female criminal in a Real Crime narrative
and recent British novels and films.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aims and Distinctive Features
This module is open in content to enable students from a diverse range of
backgrounds with research interests across a wide spectrum to negotiate relevant
issues to be addressed, within a basic framework. This follows the basic premise that
social research is a practical activity which cannot be elevated into disciplinary form.
It uses the research process to define the content by students' active selection of
relevant issues through investigation and discussion. The module is divided into
three sections to accommodate this process: discussion of what social research is and
of why, how and under what conditions it is undertaken, followed by discussion of
selected issues in inquisition and exploration, and finally of issues in interpretation
and analysis.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learning Outcomes
The module has the following Learning Outcomes:
The module is designed to facilitate students' active approach to their own education
through informed discussion of issues in social research, which will be reflected in
the exact form of assessment that is decided.

THE PH.D. PROGRAM
Admissions Criteria
The Ph.D. program is designed for students
seeking advanced interdisciplinary training in the
field of women’s and gender studies. Since the
entering class each year is very small (4-6 funded
students), admissions are highly competitive.
Preference is given to students who demonstrate
excellence in analytical abilities and creativity in
interdisciplinary research pertaining to women,
gender, and/or sexuality. Students applying to the
doctoral program will be selected both on the basis
of the excellence of their preparation for doctoral
level work, and on the intersection of their research
interests with those of the faculty at Rutgers.
All applicants must have completed a B.A. degree
from an accredited college or university in the
United States or a comparable institution in
another country. Students must submit transcripts,
a personal statement concerning their intellectual
interests and their reasons for graduate studies, a
writing sample that demonstrates their analytical
abilities, and three letters of recommendation from
scholars familiar with their academic work.
Students must also submit GRE scores. Students
whose native language is something other than
English must submit scores from TOEFL (Test of
English as a Foreign Language).
Application Procedures
The administration of the admissions process is
handled by the Office of Graduate and
Professional Admissions. Applicants to the Ph.D.
Program in Women’s & Gender Studies must apply
for admission through the Graduate School-New
Brunswick. For application information and to
apply on-line, applicants should go to
http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu/
The deadline for applications is January 5. All
materials including transcripts, personal statements,
writing samples and letters of recommendation
must arrive by the application deadline. To avoid
delays in the processing of applications, all
materials should be sent directly to the Office of
Graduate and Professional Admissions.
A Committee of the Graduate Faculty in Women’s
& Gender Studies carefully reviews all application
materials and makes recommendations for
admission to the Graduate School. Every effort
will be made to inform students of decisions
concerning their admission by early March.
Fellowships and Funding Opportunities
All students admitted to the Ph.D. Program are
funded through fellowships and teaching
assistantships in the Women’s & Gender Studies
Department or Graduate Research Assistantships
with Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society.
Additional work and research opportunities are
available in the units of the Institute for Women’s
Leadership.
Students receiving departmental funding in the
form of fellowships, assistantships, tuition
remission, or other assistance are expected to
maintain good academic standing, to be pursuing
full-time graduate studies, and to be making
demonstrable progress toward their degrees.
CHASER: The Resource Center for
Graduate Student External Support
The Graduate School provides outstanding services
and support for students who wish to compete for
external funding. All Ph.D. students are expected
to familiarize themselves with these resources early
in their careers. http://chaser.rutgers.edu/
Advising
All entering Ph.D. students are expected to meet
with the Graduate Director upon entering the
program. The Graduate Director will work with the
student to plan a course of study and to advise the
student on appropriate courses for the first year.
The Director will serve as the initial advisor for all
incoming Ph.D. students; however, all Ph.D.
students will be expected to select a primary
advisor from among the Graduate Faculty by the
end of their first year. The primary advisor will
assist the student in developing research
interests and in identifying appropriate
7
resources both in the University and elsewhere to
support the student's work.
Advisor and Student Responsibilities
The advisor can be a student’s most important ally
and aide in graduate study. Developing and
cultivating a relationship with one’s advisor will
give the advisor a better opportunity to serve as an
advocate and mentor, to identify potential
opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked,
and to help the student succeed.
Students are expected to meet formally with their
advisors at least twice a semester. Near the
beginning of the semester, students should meet
with advisors to review the previous semester and
discuss current projects and courses. Toward the
end of each semester, students should meet with
advisors to discuss course selection and other plans
for research and study. Ideally, students will meet
more frequently with their advisors.
Advisors will receive end of semester reports for
each student noting courses completed, grades and
incompletes. Advisors should bring any areas of
potential concern to the attention of the student,
and follow up with the Graduate Director as
needed.
Advisors should attempt to remain apprised of
their students’ progress, and to be aware should any
difficulties arise. Advisors may serve as advocates
in the students’ relations with the Graduate
Program, other faculty members, or the University.
Often it is the advisor who is in the best position to
intervene on behalf of a student and help a student
with difficulties achieve a satisfactory resolution.
Registration for Courses
Incoming Ph.D. students will receive information
from Women’s & Gender Studies concerning their
first fall registration. All in-coming students must
attend the orientation organized by Women’s &
Gender Studies. The orientation will be held each
year during the week before the official start of
classes. The orientation will include advising for
course selection for the fall semester.
8
Registration begins in late March and early April
for the fall semester and late October and early
November for the spring semester. During this
period, students may register using Rutgers
Touchtone Telephone Registration System
(RTTRS), or WEBREG Online Registration
http://webreg.rutgers.edu, or through in-person
registration. The RTTRS Telephone System can be
accessed using (732) 445-1999. Term bills may
accessed online and can be paid in person at any
Cashier’s Office (each campus has one, on
Douglass at Waller Hall), they may also be paid
over the phone by (732) 932-9601 or on-line at
http://www.studentabc.rutgers.edu/
Program Requirements
The program includes 18 credits for core courses in
feminist theory, methods, and proseminar areas,
and 21 credits of additional course work. Other
substantive requirements include successful
completion of qualifying examinations,
demonstration of working knowledge of a second
language, and writing and defense of the doctoral
dissertation.
Ph.D. students must complete 6 courses (18 core
credits) as follows :
1. 988:582 Feminist Genealogies
2. 988:603 Feminist Knowledge Production
3. An additional course in Feminist Theory,
chosen from designated 988 courses
4. An additional course in Feminist Methods,
chosen from designated 988 courses
5. Two out of the three regularly offered
Proseminars:
988:510 Technologies and Poetics of
Gender and Sexuality
988:520 Agency, Subjectivity and Social
Change
988:530 Gendered Borders/Changing
Boundaries
Language Proficiency
Ph.D. students must demonstrate working
knowledge of a second language. Students who do
not already have proficiency in a second language
may develop this competence by taking language
courses at Rutgers. Proficiency is generally
understood to be equivalent to completion of the
“intermediate” level of study. Given the time
required to develop proficiency, students without
second language skills are encouraged to begin
language training within the first three semesters of
their arrival at Rutgers.
Registration and Credits to Degree
The Graduate School requires a total of 72 credits
for the Ph.D., of which a minimum of 24 credits
are required to be devoted to dissertation research
subsequent to passing the qualifying exams. The
WGS Ph.D. requires a minimum 39 credits of
coursework. The remaining required 9 credits may
be satisfied in a number of ways, depending on the
individual student’s needs.
Summary of Required Credits for Ph.D.
39 WGS/cognate course credits
24 dissertation research credits
9 other credits
Options for 9 “other” credits: Any combination
of the following
1. Additional course work: languages, other WGS
or cognate courses.
2. Transfer credits.
3. Up to 9 credits in the following courses:
988:601 Readings in Women’s & Gender Studies
Intensive reading in feminist theory and women’s
and gender studies scholarship in preparation for
the Ph.D. qualifying examination. To be taken in
the semester preceding exams.
988:604,605 Women’s & Gender Studies Dissertation
Proposal
Independent work towards preparation of
dissertation including literature review, preliminary
data collection, preliminary research and writing.
To be taken in the semester preceding or the
semester of the examination.
4. Research credits in excess of the required 24
dissertation research credits.
Minimum and Maximum Credits
1. The maximum number of credits allowed
per semester is 16.
2. After the completion of course work and
exams, all students MUST register for at
least one credit per semester (fall/spring)
until completion of the degree, regardless
of the total number of credits.
3. Students in residence at Rutgers must
register for at least three credits per
semester until they reach 72 credits, after
which time they must register for one
credit per semester.
4. During the exam and post-qualifying
dissertation phase, students should plan
their registration over time to insure that
they do not over-enroll in research or
“other” credits (988:701, 702, 601, 604,
605). For students receiving tuition
remission, the Graduate School must pay
for each credit for which a student
registers, and it seeks to limit such
payments to 72 credits per student.
Teaching Assistant/Graduate Assistant
Registration
1. Students with a Teaching or Graduate
Assistantship must register for 6 “E”
credits each semester they hold the
Assistantship. These credits do not count
toward the degree, but they do count
toward the maximum allowed credits per
semester, therefore TA/GAs may not
enroll in more than 10 additional credits
during fall and spring.
2. Teaching or Graduate Assistants are
entitled to register for up to 6 credits
toward the degree over the summer
following the appointment.
International Students
1. International students must register for at
least 9 credits per semester until they
complete 72 credits. After 72 credits,
9
international students may register for as
little as one credit per semester and retain
their student status.
2. ALL international graduate students who
register for fewer than 9 credits MUST
submit a form to the Center for
International Student Services for each
semester in which they register for fewer
than 9 credits. The form they must submit
will depend upon their situation:
a.
In the FIRST semester in which
they are registered for 1 credit because
they have completed all required
credits, they MUST submit a "Reduced
Credit Form" (signed by the GPD) to
the International Center.
b.
If they have already submitted at
least ONE "Reduced Credit Form"
(signed by the GPD) that certifies the
student has completed all required
credits, they can then submit a
"Confirmation of Reduced Credits"
(signed by the student only) in
subsequent semesters for which they
register for 1 credit.
Course Descriptions
988:561 Black Feminist Theories
This course provides a broad survey of
contemporary Black feminist theory, including the
emergence of Black feminist thought and political
action, key actors and debates, theoretical
engagements with questions of gender, racial, and
sexual difference.
988:582 Feminist Genealogies
As a methodology, genealogy does not trace
concepts back to their origins (a task which
presupposes continuity), but to points at which
contradictions and contestations erupt in a manner
productive of later discursive formations. This
course examines key modern theories whose
contradictions provoked feminist thought and
elicited feminist critiques (for example, Hegelian,
Liberal, Marxist, Existentialist and others).
988:583 Contemporary Feminist Theories
This course examines how recent feminist theories
have critiqued a variety of traditional boundaries
such as theoretical categories of identity, global
hierarchies of power, and disciplinary boundaries.
10
The original contributions of feminist theories to
conceptual thinking will be explored around key
concepts such as agency, identity, difference,
location, intersectionality, transnationalism and
nationalism, representation, resistance, power and
sexuality.
988:587 Feminist Pedagogy
This course examines theories and practices of
feminist pedagogy, engaging both practical issues
of teaching interdisciplinary thinking about gender
in a classroom, issues of the connection of theory
to practice, and feminist critiques of educational
practices.
988:602 Feminist Methodologies
This course focuses on both the advantages and
disadvantages of different philosophical,
methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary
traditions for contributing to our knowledge of
central issues in women's and gender studies. The
goal is to provide students with the critical tools to
utilize and interrogate existing methodologies and
to adapt them to the enterprise of feminist
research. What counts as authoritative knowledge?
What defines good research and bad research?
What is the role of the social in the constitution of
knowledge? What constitutes research as feminist?
988:603 Feminist Knowledge Production
This course is an introduction to many of the
methods used in feminist interdisciplinary research.
The course looks at how to formulate a research
question, collect data, interpret and analyze
evidence, and report research results. The course
will be a forum to apply knowledge of methods and
methodologies to students’ own research and
research-activist interests.
Other Options for Credit Towards Degree
988:590 Independent Study
WGS Graduate Students with an interest in a
specialized area not represented in the current
curriculum may arrange an Independent Study
under the supervision of a member of the Graduate
Faculty. As the supervision of Independent Study
requires a significant investment and preparation
on the part of the faculty member involved,
students should approach possibly faculty
supervisors well in advance of the anticipated
semester of enrollment.
Normally, no more than 6 credits of Independent
Study may be counted toward the 39 credits of
coursework required by the Department. All
Independent Studies must be approved by the
Graduate Director. To obtain approval, students
must submit a memo of agreement signed by the
student and the faculty supervisor which includes: a
brief synopsis of the topic and content of the
Independent Study; an outline of the reading or
research which will be undertaken; and a statement
of the assignments that will be used as a basis for
the determination of completion and grading.
After the memo of agreement has been submitted,
the student may obtain a special permission
number to register for Independent Study.
On completion of the Independent Study, the
faculty supervisor must communicate the final
grade to the Graduate Director for submission to
the Graduate School.
Proseminars and Areas of Concentration
Feminist scholars at Rutgers have identified three
innovative areas of focus to shape the
interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Women’s & Gender
Studies. These areas are designed to stimulate
original scholarship addressing new research
questions and fostering the growth of feminist
inquiry and practice. Each area of concentration is
introduced through a proseminar that presents key
questions, theories, methodologies, and empirical
case studies.
988:510 Proseminar: Technologies and Poetics
of Gender and Sexuality
This concentration investigates the hierarchical
production of cultural differences. Technologies of
gender and sexuality refer to the manifold
imaginary and material practices through which
such categorical differences inform particular social
and historical contexts. The poetics of gender and
sexuality involve the creative and symbolic work
that situates “difference” as a defining element of
human relationships and cultural meanings.
988:520 Proseminar: Agency, Subjectivity and
Social Change
This course investigates women’s mobilizations to
transform social and political institutions, which
also transform women activists themselves.
Examining global feminist movements in the past
as well as in the contemporary world, this course
seeks to explicate how women’s activism and
agency continue to challenge dominant discourses
on agency, subjectivity, culture, politics, authority,
religion, and society.
988:530 Proseminar: Gendered Borders/
Changing Boundaries
Feminist scholarship has sought to challenge and
de-center many traditional boundaries by
cultivating voices “from the margin” and exploring
dimensions of women’s experiences that defy these
boundaries. This concentration examines how
feminist scholarship can illuminate phenomena
such as fluctuating national borders, shifting
contours of sovereignty, displacement, immigration
and diasporas, uncertain global economies, hybrid
identities, and changing sexualities.
Admission to Candidacy: The Qualifying
Examination
The qualifying examination determines whether a
student is prepared for admission to candidacy for
the Ph.D. degree. Ph.D. students in Women’s &
Gender Studies must complete Written and Oral
Qualifying Examinations within 12 months of the
completion of course work (minimum 39 credits)
and prior to admission to candidacy status.
Qualifying exams include both a written and an oral
component which address (1) the general field of
women’s and gender studies, (2) a specific area of
specialization, and (3) goals for dissertation
research. Students preparing for Qualifying Exams
should complete and maintain the Ph.D. Qualifying
Exam and Dissertation Committee Form available from
the Graduate Secretary. This form records
committee membership, topics, and student
progress through the exam and proposal stages of
the Ph.D.
All exams will be graded “Pass” or “No Pass.” No
gradations of passing or distinction will be
conferred.
The Written Exam
The written portion of the Qualifying
Examinations is administered twice a year during
the fall and spring semesters. Normally, students
11
are expected to sit for written exams at the first
offered date following the completion of their
coursework. Students must sit for written exams
within 9 months of the completion of coursework.
The Written Exam will be administered to all
students in a given academic year by a common
faculty committee. Members of the committee will
be announced in the Spring for service in the
following academic year.
Written Exam Components
In consultation with the Graduate Director,
members of the faculty serving on Exam
Committees will develop a written exam consisting
of two parts:
Part A is designed to demonstrate breadth of
knowledge concerning the field of women’s and
gender studies, including major theoretical
approaches and their methodological implications,
core concepts, interdisciplinary methods of
analysis, and substantive research findings. This
section should include 3-4 questions, of which the
student must answer 2 questions.
Part B will focus on the individual areas of
concentration (Technologies and Poetics of
Gender and Sexuality; Agency, Subjectivity, and
Social Change; or Gendered Borders/Changing
Boundaries). Questions in this section will be
designed to tap the student’s understanding of the
central issues shaping each research field and the
student’s ability to analyze critically a range of
scholarship. This section should include 2-3
questions, of which the student must answer one
question.
Administration of the Exam
Exams will be distributed on a Monday morning
(no later than noon) and must be returned by
Friday no later than noon. Exams may be turned in
earlier. Answers to questions may be no longer
than 15 pages. The exam is constructed as an
approximately 24 hour exam, but the five day
period is provided so that students may complete
the exam in the most effective way possible.
Students sitting for qualifying exams are expected
to have achieved sufficient facility with the key
bibliography such that their textual references are
clear and specific.
12
The committee will read and evaluate the written
exam, and determine whether it is of passing
quality. If the written exam passes, the student may
continue to the oral examination.
Repeating the Written Exam
Students who do not pass the first time must retake
the exam during the next regularly scheduled
period. Students who do not retake the exam
within the specified time frame or who take the
exam a second time and do not pass will not be
permitted to continue to progress toward the Ph.D.
The Written Exam may be repeated once. Once a
student has received the exam questions, the
student will be considered to have taken the exam,
and will have only one subsequent opportunity to
take it whether a completed exam is submitted or
not.
Postponing the Written Exam
In the event of illness or emergency, a student may
petition in advance of the scheduled exam date for
a specific short-term postponement for that
individual student. Such petitions will be
considered only in advance of the distribution of
the exam, and will be granted only at the discretion
of the Graduate Director and with the agreement
of the Exam Committee. If no agreement can be
reached, the student will take the exam at the next
regularly scheduled exam period. An exam delayed
under such circumstances will not be considered to
have been attempted until the student actually takes
the exam.
If the student becomes ill in the course of the
exam, or following the distribution of the exam, the
student may complete and submit the exam or not
submit any response. Whether for reasons of illness
or other contingency, a blank or non-submitted
exam response will not be graded, but the student
will have only one more opportunity to take and
pass the exam.
The Oral Exam
While the written exam focuses on the general field
of women’s and gender studies, the oral exam will
focus on the student’s individual area of
specialization, that is, the area of intended
dissertation research.
The student should assemble a committee of four
members of the Graduate Faculty who will serve as
the oral exam committee and will be likely to
continue as members of the student’s dissertation
committee. Students should consult with each
faculty member they would like to serve on the
committee. A preliminary bibliography related to
the student’s area of specialization should be
submitted both to members of the orals committee
and the Program at the time the committee is
constituted. The student should register the names
of the committee members on the Ph.D. Qualifying
Exam and Dissertation Committee Form, and submit
the preliminary bibliography to the Graduate
Director.
No less than one week prior to the oral exam, the
student must submit to their committee a final
annotated bibliography indicating how the
individual texts on the list contribute to the general
areas of inquiry, research questions, and methods
that the student expects to develop into a full
dissertation proposal. This annotated bibliography
will form the basis for questioning, which will
engage the student’s capacity to undertake
independent and original scholarship in the
student’s chosen field. In addition the exam
prepares the student to undertake more advanced
dissertation research by brainstorming about ways
to approach the proposed dissertation topic. The
oral exam aims to assure that the student is ready to
proceed with more detailed research and
development of a dissertation topic.
The oral exam must occur no later than 3 months
following the written exam (and no later than 12
months following the completion of course work).
Students who have not completed their oral exam
within the specified time frame, or who sit for the
oral exam but do not pass, may be placed on
academic probation for one semester during which
period they are expected to complete and pass the
oral exam. Failure to do so may result in
suspension of funding or termination of studies.
When the student has passed the written and oral
exams under the conditions described above, the
student’s oral exam committee will sign the
candidacy form and the student will be advanced to
candidacy (ABD).
Model Exam Timelines
While the written exam should be taken at the next
offered date following the completion of
coursework, students have some flexibility in the
timing of their oral exams and dissertation proposal
defenses (see below). Specifically, students who
begin their graduate study at Rutgers with more
advanced preparation or a more developed area of
specialization are expected to pursue a more
accelerated path through the exams. Accelerated
students may complete the exams and proposal
defense in as short a time as is practicable. Students
who opt to extend the time between stages to the
maximum allowed should take into account
funding considerations, particularly the annual cycle
of application deadlines for external funding, when
planning the schedule of development of their
dissertation proposals.

Dissertation and Dissertation Committee
13
Each candidate for the doctorate pursues, under
faculty direction, an original investigation of a
problem or problems in a field of concentration
and presents the results of the investigation in a
dissertation. The member of the program faculty
who supervises the student’s investigation becomes
chairperson of the committee. The panel also
includes two members or associate members of the
program faculty and an “outside” member, who is
appointed by the program director in consultation
with the student’s adviser. Whenever possible,
“outside” shall be “outside the University.” The
outside member is expected to be a recognized
authority on the subject of the dissertation.
Substitutions in committee membership, once it
has been determined, are the responsibility of the
Program Director. Replacements will occur only if
a member is unable to serve or if a student’s
dissertation topic changes, requiring a new
dissertation director and/or modification in the
committee. In cases other than these, approval for
changes in committee membership rests with the
dean of the Graduate School–New Brunswick.
Graduate School Policy on the “Outside
Member”
The Graduate School requires that one member of
a Ph.D. dissertation committee be an individual
who is not a member of the student’s degree
program. This individual may be a Rutgers faculty
member or someone from outside the university.
Outside members are intended to bring a fresh
perspective to the supervision of a student’s
research and also to bring an unbiased look at the
quality of the work. Therefore, they must be
people with no conflict of interest with regard to
assessment of the student’s work.
In a program such as Women's & Gender Studies
there is such a broad inclusion of relevant
individuals on program faculties that it may be
challenging to find a Rutgers faculty member to
appoint as an outside member of a dissertation
committee who is not already a member of the
program faculty. At the same time, the WGS
Graduate Faculty is drawn from a wide range of
units within Rutgers, such that there many faculty
members of a program who have little professional
contact.
14
The Graduate School has therefore deemed it
permissible, in such situations, that the “outside”
member be drawn from within the program faculty
when it can be shown that that individual has no
close personal or professional ties to the student,
the adviser and other members of the committee.
In these cases the outside member may not be a
member of a department already represented on
the committee. Requests for these exceptions will
have to demonstrate that this is the case and will
require approval by the Graduate School.
Dissertation Proposal
Upon successful completion of the qualifying
examinations, the student will work in consultation
with her/his advisor and committee to develop a
dissertation proposal. The maximum time allowed
between completion of the Qualifying
Examinations and the presentation of a dissertation
proposal is 7 months; however, students are
strongly encouraged to proceed expeditiously
through the proposal stage and to develop their
proposals quickly and efficiently.
Students should discuss the format and
requirements for their particular proposal with their
supervisor and committee members, but the
dissertation proposal is generally expected to
include:
•
A critical review of the literature, which
connects the specifics of the dissertation
topic to larger themes and issues in the
relevant field(s).
•
A discussion of the rationale for,
significance, and implications of the study.
The dissertation is expected to make an
original contribution to knowledge in the
area of theory, empirical findings, and/or
methodology.
•
A statement of the research problem and
possible hypotheses.
•
Methodological design of the study.
•
A detailed and extensive bibliography.
In so far as students will need a proposal or
abstract to apply for outside funding, funding
application considerations may also play a role in
the development of the scope and content of the
dissertation proposal.
Students are recommended to work closely with
their committee members in developing their
dissertation proposals. When the proposal is
complete, the student must schedule an oral
defense of the proposal. It is expected that this
defense will be attended by the full committee,
including all three internal members and where
practical the outside member as well. However,
there may be circumstances under which some
members are not available during the desired
period; students should consult with the Graduate
Director for approval to proceed with the defense
with fewer than three members of the committee.
If members of the committee are unable to
participate in the oral defense, they should submit
their suggestions and comments in writing. Three
members of the committee must formally approve
the proposal in order for the student to pass on to
the writing of the dissertation. Approval of the
dissertation proposal should be registered on the
Ph.D. Qualifying Exam and Dissertation Committee
Form.
Student Progress
Once the proposal has been accepted, the
committee must be kept informed of the student’s
progress and must agree to follow the candidate’s
work and assist in its development. The committee
also shall agree to give ample and early warning of
any reservations concerning the student’s progress
and must specify in writing the changes required
for dissertation acceptance.
Graduate School Policy on Time to degree
Ph.D. students in Women’s and Gender Studies are
expected to complete all requirements within the
timetables indicated in this Handbook, and to
complete and defend the dissertation in no more
than six years from the time of initial matriculation.
The Graduate School will identify early each spring
those doctoral students who have been (or will
shortly be) enrolled for seven years and who have
not filed for the degree. The students will be
notified and the names of those notified sent to the
programs. Students must file requests for extension
and the program will decide whether or not to
recommend in favor of those extensions. (Students
who file for October degrees need not file for
extensions.)
In the case of students who have passed the 7-year
mark, requests for extension must be forwarded
within ninety days of the original notification to the
Graduate School for approval. (A program that
decides not to recommend an extension must,
within ninety days of the original notification,
either ask the student to resign or take formal
action to recommend termination of the student’s
status in the program.) In each case, these
applications will be accompanied to the Graduate
School by statements by the student’s committee,
the graduate program director and the student
justifying the request for an extension (these may
be the review statements already collected by the
program), and an estimate of the number of
additional semesters required for the student to
complete the Ph.D. degree.
Students may appeal decisions not to recommend
extensions through the existing appeals process, as
described in the catalogue.
Graduate School Definition of Dissertation
The Graduate School policy on Dissertations
states: The dissertation itself must be a single entity
and a clearly written account of the student’s
original research. In addition to a description of the
details and results of the research, it should contain
an appropriate general and contextual introduction,
written at a level accessible to most other workers
in the wider field. If the thesis consists of more
than one piece of research, the elements of the
dissertation must be related parts of a common
research program and should be tied together in
the introduction and the conclusion.
Dissertation Defense and Completion of
Degree Requirements
A dissertation defense is held under the auspices of
the committee in charge of the candidate’s course
of study. A candidate must defend the dissertation
and otherwise satisfy the committee that he or she
is qualified to receive the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy.
The dissertation must be approved by a minimum
of three members of a faculty committee of four
members. For committees having more than four
members, only one non approval is permitted.

Academic Standing and Student Funding
Students who receive university financial support in
the form of stipends, fellowships, Graduate
Assistantships, Teaching Assistantships, tuition
remission, and the like, are expected to perform at
the highest academic and professional level both in
their coursework and in the performance of any
duties associated with their financial support.
Assistantships are important opportunities for
professional development of teaching, research,
and professional skills which are an integral part of
doctoral education. Students who exhibit
unsatisfactory performance as determined by the
job descriptions for TAs and GAs will not have
their funding renewed in the subsequent period.
Fellowships and Assistantships are reserved for
those students who maintain the highest level of
academic excellence. Fellows and Assistants are
expected to maintain a GPA no lower than 3.75 in
any semester and no lower than 3.83 overall.
Students who fail to make satisfactory academic
progress in regards to coursework, exams, and
dissertation research will not have their funding
renewed in the subsequent period.
Appeals Process
Students who believe their work has been evaluated
unfairly or incorrectly should first discuss the
matter with the faculty member(s) involved. If the
matter cannot be resolved to the student’s
satisfaction, the student should appeal to the
Graduate Director. If the Graduate Director
cannot resolve the issue to the satisfaction of the
student and the faculty member(s) involved, then
the student should appeal to the WGS Graduate
Committee. Students may also appeal decisions of
the Graduate Director regarding status and
progress to the Graduate Committee. If no
resolution is forthcoming, the matter must be
referred to the Graduate School for final
resolution.
Incompletes
Grades of Incomplete are available only on a
limited basis. No more than one grade of
Incomplete is permitted in any one semester, and it
must be removed within one year. No grade
changes submitted later than two semesters past
the conclusion of the course will be approved by
the Graduate Director. Failure to resolve an
Incomplete grade within the allowed time frame
will result in a notation of “PIN” (permanent
incomplete) on the transcript and no credit
awarded for the course. Students with more than
one outstanding Incomplete will not be allowed to
register for classes
Transfer Credits
Ph.D. students may apply for transfer of up to 12
credits for relevant and acceptable graduate courses
completed at other colleges and universities.
Credits may not be transferred until students have
completed at least 12 credits of graduate courses
with a grade of B or better as a matriculated
student at the Graduate School—New Brunswick.
Transfer credits can only be used toward
fulfillment of cognate or “other” course credits and
cannot be substituted for any of the 18 core credits.
Transfer credits are subject to individual approval
by both the Graduate Director and the Graduate
School. Students must submit an application,
evidence of completion (transcript), and course
syllabi to the Graduate Director. The Graduate
Director forwards recommendations for transfer
credit to the Graduate School, which makes the
final determination and awards the credit. While
transfer credits may not be officially awarded prior
to the completion of 12 credits, it is recommended
that students should consult with the Graduate
Director earlier to discuss which credits might be
accepted for transfer in order to facilitate the
student’s planning of his/her curriculum.
Graduate School policies restrict the transfer of
credit in several ways. The courses must relate
directly to a student’s program of study at Rutgers,
and the student must have received a grade of B or
better in them. No credit may be transferred for
thesis research work, course work done as
independent study, or work in courses that were
not graded. In most cases, transfer credit will only
be considered for courses taken no more than six
years prior to the application for transfer of credit.
Exemption from Required Courses
Transfer credits are awarded as credits toward
coursework, not as specific courses. Generally, all
students including those with previous graduate
degrees are expected to complete required courses.
17
In extraordinary cases, a student may seek
exemption from one or more requirements.
Students seeking exemption from specific
departmental course requirements on the basis of
prior course work and/or transfer credits must
submit a written petition to the Graduate
Committee, explaining the rationale for requesting
exemption and the evidence for outstanding prior
achievement in relation to the area of expertise or
competence represented by the course requirement.
All determinations of exemption from course
requirements will be made on an individual basis by
the Graduate Committee. Exemptions cannot be
granted prior to the completion of one semester of
full-time study in the graduate program. Students
contemplating a petition for exemption should
consult with the Graduate Director.
Human Subject Research
IRB review is required when a student research
proposal meets both of the Federal regulatory
definitions for research and human subjects.
Research is defined as a systematic investigation…designed
to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge.
Examples of such projects are: research
development testing, pilot studies, clinical studies,
surveys, certain program evaluations,
ethnographies, and oral history projects. Theses
and practicum reports should be assumed to fall
under this definition of research.
Human Subject is defined as a living individual about
whom an investigator conducting research obtains (1) data
through intervention or interaction with the individual, or (2)
identifiable private information (such as data sets that
contain identifiable information). It is vital to note
that in order to qualify under this definition
information must be obtained about an individual.
Merely obtaining information from an individual
about a process, policy, etc. (but not another living
individual), will not require IRB review.
Any paper, essay, report or dissertation that draws
general conclusions or analysis from particular data
should be assumed to fall under this definition of
research. Therefore, when any student paper,
dissertation or other curricular activity involves
acquiring information about living individuals as
described under “human subjects” above (including
any kind of interview or client interaction
undertaken as part of the practicum), the student
18
should assume that IRB review is necessary. Many
projects may be determined to be exempt, but it is
IRB, not the student or advisor, who makes this
determination.
University policy and additional information can be
found at
http://orsp.rutgers.edu/humans/SocBhvr.php and
on the Office of Research and Sponsored
Programs Web Site:
http://orsp.rutgers.edu/humans/human.php
Inter-University Doctoral Consortium
Doctoral students who have completed one year of
doctoral work are eligible to cross-register for
graduate courses at the following institutions:
Princeton, CUNY-Graduate Center, Columbia,
Fordham, New School, NYU, or SUNY-Stony
Brook. Students must obtain approval from the
Graduate Director as well as from the professor at
the visiting institution. Forms and procedures for
registration are available from the Graduate
Secretary.
Interdisciplinary Ph.D.
In extremely rare circumstances, the Graduate
School allows already-matriculated Ph.D. students
to arrange for special Interdisciplinary Ph.D.
programs. This program is a means for combining
existing Graduate School programs when none of
the individual programs can alone accommodate
the interdisciplinary nature of a student’s studies.
As such, the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. will only be
considered in cases where a student’s interests
extend to areas or disciplines not represented in the
WGS Graduate Faculty.
Models of Ph.D. course work
Three (3) Graduate Courses each semester is
considered a full load, although a student may take
four (4) courses.

THE M.A. PROGRAM
Application Procedures
The M.A. in Women’s & Gender Studies is a liberal
arts degree providing students with an opportunity
to pursue advanced interdisciplinary work in
Women’s & Gender Studies, enabling them to
become active practitioners in this rapidly
expanding field of study. The program is
structured as a "terminal" master's degree for
students planning non-academic careers. It may
also serve as a supplement for professional degrees
in fields such as law, social work, public health,
labor studies, public policy, or clinical psychology.
With an increasing emphasis on careers focusing on
the delivery of services to women and a rethinking
of the needs of women and families worldwide,
Women’s & Gender Studies helps to fill a growing
demand for experts versed in women and gender
issues. The M.A. program is designed to
emphasize global and multicultural perspectives on
these matters.
The administration of the admissions process is
handled by the Office of Graduate and Professional
Admissions. Applicants to the M.A. Program in
Women’s & Gender Studies must apply for
admission through the Graduate School-New
Brunswick. For application information and to apply
on-line, applicants should go to
http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu/
Admission Criteria
The Department welcomes a wide variety of
applicants, ranging from recent college graduates to
mid-career professionals, to international activists
who wish to enrich their engagement with women’s
and gender studies.
All applicants must have completed a B.A. degree
from an accredited college or university in the
United States or a comparable institution in
another country. Students must submit transcripts,
a personal statement concerning their intellectual
interests and their reasons for graduate studies, a
writing sample that demonstrates their analytical
abilities, and three letters of recommendation from
scholars familiar with their academic work.
Students must also submit GRE scores. Students
whose native language is something other than
English must submit scores from TOEFL (Test of
English as a Foreign Language).
Admission to the M.A. program is entirely separate
from admission to the Ph.D. program. Students in
the M.A. program who wish to pursue doctoral
work in Women’s Studies at Rutgers must apply to
the Ph.D. program directly, where they will
compete with the general pool of applicants for
admissions.
20
The deadline for applications is February 15. All
materials including transcripts, personal statements,
writing samples and letters of recommendation must
arrive by the application deadline. To avoid delays in
the processing of applications, all materials should be
sent directly to the Office of Graduate and
Professional Admissions.
A Committee of the Graduate Faculty in Women’s &
Gender Studies carefully reviews all application
materials and makes recommendations for admission
to the Graduate School. Every effort will be made to
inform students of decisions concerning their
admission by early March.
Financial Support
Extremely limited financial support is available to
M.A. students, in general, at Rutgers University.
Financial support through the University, in the form
of loans, grants, and work study may be obtained by
contacting the Financial Aid office directly (732) 9327057. Various jobs are available on campus,
including jobs and assistantships in other
departments and centers. A list of women-related
centers, some of which employ research assistants, is
included in this handbook.
Registration for Courses
Incoming M.A. students will receive information
from Women’s & Gender Studies concerning their
first fall registration. All in-coming students must
attend a one-day orientation organized by Women’s
& Gender Studies. The orientation will be held each
year during the week before the official start of
classes. The orientation will include advising for
course selection for the fall semester. Each student
will also be assigned a faculty adviser at the
orientation.
Registration begins in late March and early April
for the fall semester and late October and early
November for the spring semester. During this
period, students may register using Rutgers
Touchtone Telephone Registration System
(RTTRS), or WEBREG Online Registration
http://webreg.rutgers.edu/, or through in-person
registration. The RTTRS Telephone System can be
accessed using (732) 445-1999. Term bills may be
paid in person at any Cashier’s Office (each campus
has one, on Douglass at Waller Hall), they may also
be paid over the phone by (732) 932-9601 or online at http://www.studentabc.rutgers.edu/
Program Requirements
Students are required to complete 30 credits in
order to earn the M.A. degree. 12 credits are
earned in four required core Women's & Gender
Studies courses, and 12 are earned through a
combination of proseminars or advanced colloquia
offered in the Department and cognate courses
offered by Women’s & Gender Studies Graduate
Faculty through other departments. These latter
four courses should cohere as a "concentration."
The last six credits are earned by completing a
practicum experience and report. The practicum
provides the opportunity to integrate academic
analysis of particular feminist issues with work in a
feminist organization addressing those issues.
Students are required to defend the practicum
report before a Committee of three Women’s &
Gender Studies Faculty. In particular circumstances
and in consultation with the Graduate Director, a
student may elect to substitute a thesis for the
practicum experience and report. More information
about the thesis option is available from the
Graduate Director.
Four Core Courses
(1) 988:515 Feminism: Theory and Practice
This course aims to illuminate the interconnections
of theory and practice by exploring particular
modes of feminist activism and the complex
theoretical issues that feminist praxis raises. The
course seeks to foster an understanding of the
multiple ways that feminist theory has opened our
imaginations to the possibilities for inclusive
democratic practices, and expanded the repertoire of
strategies for realizing social change.
(2) 988:520 Agency, Subjectivity, and Social
Change
This course investigates women’s mobilizations to
transform social and political institutions, which also
transform women activists themselves. Examining
global feminist movements in the past as well as in
the contemporary world, this course seeks to
explicate how women’s activism and agency continue
to challenge dominant discourses on agency,
subjectivity, culture, politics, authority, religion, and
society.
(3) One course in feminist theory:
This course may be selected from 988:555, 988:582,
988:583, or other courses to be designated each
semester as fulfilling this requirement.
988:555 Advanced Topics in Feminist Theory –
Offered periodically
Advanced study of particular feminist theories or
theorists. Check course schedule for topics.
988:561 Black Feminist Theory
Broad survey of contemporary Black feminist theory,
including the emergence of Black feminist thought
and political action, key actors and debates,
theoretical engagements with questions of gender,
racial, and sexual difference
988:582 Feminist Genealogies
As a methodology, genealogy does not trace concepts
back to their origins (a task which presupposes
continuity), but to points at which contradictions and
contestations erupt in a manner productive of later
discursive formations. This course examines key
modern theories whose contradictions provoked
feminist thought and elicited feminist critiques (for
example, Hegelian, Liberal, Marxist, Existentialist and
others).
988:583 Contemporary Feminist Theories
This course will examine how recent feminist theories
have critiqued a variety of traditional boundaries such
as theoretical categories of identity, global hierarchies
of power, and disciplinary boundaries. The original
contributions of feminist theories to conceptual
thinking will be explored around key concepts such
as agency, identity, difference, location,
intersectionality, transnationalism and nationalism,
representation, resistance, power and sexuality.

(4) One course in feminist research and
methods:
This course may be selected from 988:545,
988:602, 988:603, or other courses to be
designated each semester as fulfilling this
requirement.
988:545 Understanding Quantitative Methods
in Feminist Research
Introduction to quantitative methods in feminist
research, with an emphasis on interpretation of
quantitative claims as well as feminist uses and
critiques of quantitative methods.
988:602 Feminist Methodologies
This course focuses on both the advantages and
disadvantages of different philosophical,
methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary
traditions for contributing to our knowledge of
central issues in women's and gender studies. The
goal is to provide students with the critical tools to
utilize and interrogate existing methodologies and
to adapt them to the enterprise of feminist
research. What counts as authoritative knowledge?
What defines good research and bad research?
What is the role of the social in the constitution of
knowledge? What constitutes research as feminist?
988:603 Feminist Knowledge Production
This course is an introduction to many of the
methods used in feminist interdisciplinary research.
The course looks at how to formulate a research
question, collect data, interpret and analyze
evidence, and report research results. The course
will be a forum to apply knowledge of methods and
methodologies to students’ own research and
research-activist interests.
Four additional courses to form an area of
concentration
These courses may be drawn from 988 courses
(including proseminars and advanced colloquia) or
cognate courses.
Each M.A. student should choose an area of
concentration during the first semester of
coursework in order to complete M.A. course work
efficiently. Students should craft a concentration
on the basis of particular intellectual interests and
courses available in any particular academic year.
Other Options for Credit Towards Degree
988:590 Independent Study
22
WGS Graduate Students with an interest in a
specialized area not represented in the current
curriculum may arrange an Independent Study under
the supervision of a member of the Graduate Faculty.
As the supervision of Independent Study requires a
significant investment and preparation on the part of
the faculty member involved, students should
approach possibly faculty supervisors well in advance
of the anticipated semester of enrollment.
Normally, no more than 3 credits of the combination
of Independent Study and Undergraduate Courses
(see below) may be counted toward the 30 credits
required for the M.A. All Independent Studies must
be approved by the Graduate Director. To obtain
approval, students must submit a memo of agreement
signed by the student and the faculty supervisor
which includes: a brief synopsis of the topic and
content of the Independent Study; an outline of the
reading or research which will be undertaken; and a
statement of the assignments that will be used as a
basis for the determination of completion and
grading. After the memo of agreement has been
submitted, the student may obtain a special
permission number to register for Independent
Study.
On completion of the Independent Study, the faculty
supervisor must communicate the final grade to the
Graduate Director for submission to the Graduate
School.
Undergraduate Classes for Graduate Credit
WGS master’s students may enroll in advanced
undergraduate courses in Women’s & Gender Studies
(courses offered as 988:###) as well as courses in
other departments focusing on gender and public
policy, offered through the IWL Leadership Scholars
program. Students wishing to enroll in an
undergraduate class for graduate credit should
consult with the Graduate Director and with the
instructor of the course. Normally, no more than 3
credits of the combination of Independent Study and
Undergraduate Courses may be counted toward the
30 credits required for the M.A.
Time to Completion of Degree
For students who seek to complete the M.A. in
one year
Students expecting to complete the M.A. in one
year should complete all 24 required course credits
during the fall and spring semesters. During the
summer after completing course work students
may complete their Practicum. Students who need
to maintain their student status over the summer
may register for the practicum or thesis over the
summer. Students who are operating under more
restrictive circumstances (e.g., are from abroad or
do not have funds to take courses over the
summer) should register for thesis or practicum
(three credits each semester) in the fall and spring
semesters. An incomplete grade will be assigned
for these credits, which will allow the student to
complete the work over the summer. A grade
change will be processed upon successful
completion of the thesis or practicum. Students
who live outside the tri-state area may register as
“matriculation continued” for the summer. The
Practicum Report may be defended any time prior
to the October degree deadline date (usually
October 1). Students earning an October degree
need not register for fall semester.
For students completing the M.A. in more than
one year
Some students may choose to take more than one
year to complete the M.A. degree.
In this case, it is not necessary to complete all core
courses within the first year. However, the
mandatory methodology course (Research
Methodologies, Feminist Knowledge Production,
or another approved course) must be completed
before undertaking any work on the thesis or
practicum.
Maximum time to degree
The M.A. program may be completed in as little as
one year. However, in accordance with Graduate
School policies, the maximum time allowed to
complete the requirements for the M.A. degree is 3
years. Students who have not completed all
requirements within 3 years and who are not
making progress toward the degree will be
recommended for academic dismissal.
In the case of part-time students, extensions are
available only to students in good academic
standing who are making consistent and verifiable
progress toward completion. Extensions are
granted by petition to the Graduate School and
require the support of the WGS Graduate Program
Director.
M.A. Advising
All entering M.A. students will be assigned an initial
advisor on their entry into the program. The advisor
will work with the student to plan a course of study
and to advise the student on appropriate courses and
faculty. The advisor may also assist the student in
developing research and practicum interests and in
identifying appropriate resources both in the
University and elsewhere to support the student’s
work.
The initial advisor will assume primary advising
responsibilities, and may become the student’s
practicum advisor. If it seems appropriate, the initial
advisor may assist the student in locating an
alternative practicum advisor, and in identifying
possible committee members. If the student chooses
another faculty member as practicum advisor, that
faculty member becomes the student’s primary
advisor. If a student’s advisor is on leave, the
Graduate Director will either act as advisor or
appoint an interim alternate advisor.
The Graduate Director will notify each student of
her/his progress at the end of each semester,
including any warnings of inadequate progress for
students who fail to follow agreed calendars for
completion of required course work.
Advisor and Student Responsibilities
The advisor can be a student’s most important ally
and aide in the sometimes arduous project of
graduate study. Developing and cultivating a
relationship with one’s advisor will give the advisor a
better opportunity to serve as an advocate and
mentor, to identify potential opportunities that might
otherwise be overlooked, and to help the student
succeed.
Students are expected to meet formally with their
advisors at least twice a semester. Near the beginning
of the semester, students should meet with advisors
to review the previous semester and discuss current
projects and courses. Toward the end of each
semester, students should meet with advisors to
discuss course selection and other plans for research
and study. Ideally, students will meet more frequently
with their advisors.
23
Advisors will receive end of semester reports for
each student noting courses completed, grades and
incompletes. Advisors should bring any areas of
potential concern to the attention of the student,
and follow up with the Graduate Director as
needed.
Advisors should attempt to remain apprised of
their students’ progress, and to be aware should any
difficulties arise. Advisors may serve as advocates
in the students’ relations with the Graduate
Program, other faculty members, or the University.
Often it is the advisor who is in the best position to
intervene on behalf of a student and help a student
with difficulties achieve a satisfactory resolution.
Policy and Leadership Discussion Series
All M.A. students participate in the Policy and
Leadership Discussion Series, a periodic meeting
with guest speakers, a faculty leader, and the IWL
Policy Fellow. These meetings will give M.A.
students, as well as other interested participants, an
opportunity to exchange ideas and develop
perspectives on policy and leadership in an
informal setting. The Discussion Series is intended
to provide a variety of insights and perspectives
onto the interplay of feminist theory and
scholarship and feminist practice in and beyond the
academy.
Attendance at the Policy and Leadership
Discussion Series is required.
Practicum
The practicum provides students with the
opportunity to integrate academic analysis of
particular feminist issues with work in a feminist
organization addressing those issues. As such, the
Practicum is an ideal means to bring together
feminist theory and practice.
The practicum comprises two elements: the work
experience and the written report.
Students should enroll in 988:584 and/or 988:585
Practicum in Women’s Studies for a total of six credits.
A grade of PA (pass) for these credit hours is
awarded upon the completion of the practicum
report (see below). Students may enroll in
Practicum credits prior to undertaking the
Practicum if it is advantageous for purposes of
24
registration. These credits will show as “Incomplete”
until the Practicum Report has been defended. Note
however, that all incompletes, including those for
Practicum, must be resolved within one year.
Practicum credits will not carry letter grades. Instead,
performance will be categorized as “Satisfactory” or
“Unsatisfactory.”
The Work Experience
Each student who chooses to complete a practicum
must perform 150-180 hours of work in an agency,
organization, or project pertinent to women’s and
gender studies. In accordance with the regulations of
the Graduate School, students may not complete a
practicum in an agency that employs them full-time
or part-time. The work performed in the practicum
must be comparable to that of a professional. While
practicum placements may vary widely, each should
involve intellectual challenges, responsibility,
creativity, programmatic impact. General office
assistance (photocopying, phone answering, reception
duties), then, would not be a suitable level of work.
Students should be very clear in negotiating with
prospective practicum agencies to insure that the
work assignment fulfills these expectations. While
students have great flexibility in choosing their
practicum sites, they must be careful to insure that
they have the requisite skills to successfully complete
the work expected of them. If students seek a
practicum placement in an organization in another
country, they should possess sufficient language
proficiency to complete their work assignments in the
language of the host nation.
Preparing for the Practicum
At least two months before embarking upon the
practicum, each student must identify the issue(s) that
s/he wishes to investigate, choose a practicum faculty
advisor with expertise on this issue, and identify a
feminist organization appropriate for fieldwork on
the issue. The Graduate Director must approve each
student’s choice of practicum faculty advisor and
work site before the student develops a practicum
proposal. At least six weeks before beginning work
at the practicum site, the student must submit to the
Graduate Director a detailed plan of work developed
in consultation with the practicum faculty advisor,
which has the approval of the fieldwork agency. The
student must then select two other Graduate Faculty
members to serve on the Practicum Committee. The
student is responsible for securing the agreement of
these individuals to serve on the Practicum
Committee, with the approval of the Graduate
Director.
Students should enroll in 988:584 and/or 988:585
Practicum in Women’s & Gender Studies for a total of
six credits. This course will not issue letter grades.
Instead, performance will be categorized as
“Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory.”
The Practicum Proposal
The practicum proposal (5-7 typed pages) must be
developed in consultation with the faculty advisor.
The practicum proposal should indicate how the
student plans to bring theory and practice together
in pursuing a specific work opportunity. Toward
that end, the proposal should identify the issues,
questions, themes, controversies, or contradictions
that the student hopes to explore through the
work experience and research related to that work
experience.
The practicum proposal should indicate the set of
questions that the student brings to the work
experience and the relevant feminist articles,
books, films, or other primary sources that the
student will use as resources in thinking about the
central questions.
The practicum proposal should also include a
discussion of any previous experience or specific
skills that the student brings to the practicum that
will assist her/him in undertaking the work and in
reflecting critically upon that work.
The practicum proposal should outline the
specific work that the student has agreed to
undertake in consultation with the fieldwork agency
supervisor and the faculty advisor. The time frame
for fieldwork completion must be clearly identified.
The practicum proposal should indicate how this
engagement with feminist theory and practice
would contribute to her/his longer-term career
goals.
A systematic bibliography of feminist scholarship
relevant to the practicum project must be included
with the practicum proposal.
The Practicum Contract
Once the practicum proposal has been approved, the
student must submit a practicum contract to the host
agency for completion. The signed contract must be
returned to the Graduate Director before the student
begins the practicum.
Mid-Placement Evaluation
Each student’s site supervisor must conduct an
evaluation of the student’s performance half way
through the practicum placement. The evaluation is
designed to give the student feedback on her/his
performance in the job and to enable the agency to
identify strategies for improvement to assist the
student in making the maximum contribution to the
agency during the remainder of the practicum.
The Practicum Report
As the culmination of the student’s M.A. experience,
the Practicum Report provides the student an
opportunity to integrate insights gleaned from
academic course work with challenges posed by
particular forms of feminist activism, and by bringing
together theory and practice, to contribute to feminist
understandings of the issue being explored. The
paper could, for example, examine feminist
organizational or decision-making issues, substantive
feminist policy or service delivery, theoretical
questions raised by feminist practice within the
worksite, strategic questions concerning the
achievement of specific feminist goals. The challenge
of the Practicum Report is to bring together the
academic treatments of the issue(s) with the
experience gained during fieldwork. Guided by the
questions the student formulated in the Practicum
Proposal, the student should use the fieldwork to
provide evidence to support or contest particular
academic claims, or to offer suggestions for
reframing or expanding particular debates, to develop
concepts and practices that further feminist ends.
Each student should consult her/his practicum
faculty advisor while planning the Practicum Report
and submit a draft to the practicum faculty advisor
prior to circulating the Report to the other two
members of the Faculty Committee. While the
length of the Practicum Report will be dictated by the
nature of the issue addressed, a typical Practicum
Report ranges from 35 – 50 pages. It should be
expected that the Practicum report will go through

Grades and Academic Standing
Satisfactory Performance
Only courses receiving a grade of "B" or better will
count towards the M.A. or Certificate in Women’s
& Gender Studies. Students must maintain a 3.0
grade point average to graduate from the M.A.
program. Any student who receives a "C" in a
course will be put on academic probation. No
student can remain on academic probation for
more than two consecutive semesters. Students
whose performance does not improve may face
academic dismissal.
Appeals Process
Students who believe their work has been evaluated
unfairly or incorrectly should first discuss the
matter with the faculty member(s) involved. If the
matter cannot be resolved to the student’s
satisfaction, the student should appeal to the
Graduate Director. If the Graduate Director
cannot resolve the issue to the satisfaction of the
student and the faculty member(s) involved, then
the student may appeal to a Women’s & Gender
Studies Faculty Committee appointed by the
Graduate Director for this purpose. If no
resolution is forthcoming, the matter must be
referred to the Dean of the Graduate School for
final resolution.
Incompletes
Incomplete grades are available only on a limited
basis. No more than one grade of Incomplete is
permitted in any one semester, and it must be
removed within one year. Incompletes that are not
resolved within one year become “Permanent
Incompletes,” and the student will not receive
credit for the course. Students with more than one
Incomplete will not be allowed to register for
classes.
Transfer Credits
The M.A. Program will accept up to six transfer
credits of relevant and acceptable graduate course
from other colleges and universities. This is subject
to individual approval by the Graduate Director.
Requests for transfer credit will only be considered
after successful completion of 12 credits of graduate
course work as a matriculated student in WGS.
Students who are interested in transferring credit
must document satisfactory completion of the
course(s), and present a syllabus from the course(s) to

Policy on Joint Degrees
Graduate students may earn a Women’s & Gender
Studies M.A. along with another graduate degree at
Rutgers. Admission and financial aid are separate
processes for each program; therefore, students
must apply separately to each program. No
special consideration is given to students already
accepted in a program at Rutgers. Students who are
accepted to both programs, may enroll for both, but
technically cannot earn the degrees simultaneously.
Thus, after the student completes the first program,
s/he must request that credits from the first program
be applied to the second degree program. Students
interested in this option should discuss it with the
Graduate Directors of the Women’s & Gender
Studies Program and the second Department in
which s/he is interested.

Filing for an M.A. Degree
Students who are near completion of the
requirements for the degree must fill out two
28
forms: the M.A. candidacy form and the diploma
application form.
Both forms are available from the Graduate Secretary
or at the Graduate School Dean’s Office at 25 Bishop
Place, College Avenue Campus.
Students may confirm with Alex Bachman in the
Graduate School Dean’s Office (732) 932-7747 that
all credits required for graduation have been
completed. Students should also confirm with the
Graduate Director that all departmental requirements
have been met.
When all requirements, including satisfaction of
credits and defense of practicum report, have been
met, these forms must be filed. The deadline for
filing (and hence the deadline for completing all
requirements and defense) is:
October 1 for October degree
January 3 for January degree
April 1 for May degree (diploma application is due
March 15)
Students filing for an October degree do not need to
register for fall semester.
The diploma application must be submitted to the
Office of the Graduate Registrar. Questions
regarding the diploma application should be directed
to that office at (732) 445-3557.
The candidacy form needs be signed by all members
of the practicum committee (at the defense) as well as
by the Graduate Director. The candidacy form must
be submitted to the Graduate School Dean’s Office.
Questions regarding the submission of candidacy
forms should be directed to Barbara Sirman at (732)
932-8122.

Political Science: Women and Politics
The Political Science Department at Rutgers was
the first in the United States to develop a doctoral
concentration in the area of women and politics.
The Women and Politics program deploys gender
as an analytic category to enrich disciplinary
understandings of political theory, political
behavior, American politics, comparative politics,
public law, and international relations. Through
extensive course offerings and independent
research, students are challenged to consider the
ways in which the theoretical prism of gender
challenges traditional analyses of governing
institutions, political processes, public policies, and
theories of politics, and lays the foundation for
inclusive, democratic practices.
http://polisci.rutgers.edu/GRAD/AREAS/wome
n.html/
Sociology: Gender, Difference, Inequality
Sociology of Gender is a vibrant and innovative
area of study within the Rutgers Sociology
Graduate Program, which regularly offers graduate
seminars in the Sociology of Gender; Race, Class
and Gender; Feminism and Social Theory;
Feminist Theories; Social Psychology of Gender;
Gender and the Family; and Human Sexuality.
30
Faculty in the gender area are engaged in
innovative research projects including work on
occupational feminization and earnings; the
relationship among gender, race and class
inequality; recruitment of women to careers in
math, science and engineering; women and homebased employment; immigrant identities; Jewish
women and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict; gender
and racial inequality and mental health;
conceptions of masculinity and femininity among
adolescents; reconceptualization of gender; and
research methodology, both quantitative and
qualitative.

reareas/Gender.htm
Non-Matriculated Students/Non-Degree
Students
The Graduate Program in Women’s & Gender
Studies requires any student who wishes to take a
graduate course on a non-degree basis to make a
formal application to Graduate Admissions at
http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu/. When the
permission of both has been granted, the Graduate
Administrator will provide a special permission
numbers to enable the non-matriculated student to
enroll in the course.

Counseling Services
Rutgers University provides free counseling to
graduate students who are enrolled full time or
who pay the health care fee. There is a wide range
of services available including psychological
counseling and peer counseling, and referral
services. Please note that these services are
professionally staffed. Because graduate school
poses unique challenges to students, many find
counseling extremely helpful in making the
transition. Tillett Hall on Livingston campus, (732)
445-4140, 17 Senior Street on the College Avenue
Campus, (732) 932-7884, Cook Campus Center on

Hall on Douglass Campus, (732) 932-9070.

Students may use all libraries within the Rutgers
system. The Mabel Smith Douglass Library is
located adjacent to Voorhees Chapel. Books can
be delivered there from any other Rutgers library.
Librarian Kayo Denda, who specializes in women's
scholarship, is located at the Mabel Smith Douglass
Library. The Alexander Research Library on the
College Avenue Campus holds orientation
workshops in the beginning of the fall semester.
Parking and Transportation
Graduate students must register their vehicles for
on-campus parking by presenting the car's
registration as well as their student identification
card to Department of Transportation Services 55
Commercial Avenue, Douglass Campus to receive
the appropriate tags and stickers. Rutgers also
provides bus service between all campuses on a
daily basis.
