Women’s Studies
WOM ST 8, Women’s Studies Leadership Practicum 3 units
Transfer: CSU • Prerequisite: None.
This course is an application of feminist theories and women’s studies pedagogy to leadership development. Utilizing the methods and tools found in the interdisciplinary field of women’s studies, the course is rooted in theoretically-based and thoughtfully-organized individual and collective action through leadership training, group activities, service-learning, and networking opportunities both on and off campus. While emphasizing the importance of praxis-connecting theory and practice students will develop an understanding of a broad range of women’s experiences across class, racial/ethnic, and international lines. Students will initiate, design, and implement a “field project” of their choosing that incorporates and demonstrates an application of what is being learned in the classroom. Specific course content fluctuates based on individual and group interests, available resources, and community needs.
