In the fall, Introduction to Gender and Women's Studies (Women's Studies 2050, TR 11:30-12:45; CRN 22351) will be taught by Dr. Jean Lutes, who is an English Department faculty member. English majors who take this course may apply to use it for English credit. If you wish to do so, please contact me (Evan Radcliffe--see below). The course fulfills a Core Diversity requirement (it's Diversity 2).

Here is the course description:

This course introduces students to the broad range of issues addressed by the academic field of Women's Studies, including the history and evolution of feminist analysis as a force of history, theory, art, and culture; key distinctions between the biology of sex and the social construction of gender; conditions of women around the globe; basic principles of feminist thought, from its origins in the Women's Movement of the late 1700s and 1800s, through modern manifestations, including today's narratives.

Hello there Professor Radcliffe-

My name is Beth Biedrzycki and I graduated from Villanova in 2003 as an English major. I'm currently the assistant editor of Mainline Magazine and the reason I'm writing is because I'm interested in hiring summer interns and was hoping you could send out an e-mail blast to the students in the school of Arts & Sciences about the internship. <snip>

Thank you so much and I hope to hear from you soon.

Best,
Beth Biedrzycki

Courses for the fall

From: Evan Radcliffe
Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Subject: Courses for the fall 

English majors--

Here are some notes about courses for the fall.

1.  Attached is our guide to advising, which we first used last term.  I hope you find it helpful.  It is also available online.

2.  English department faculty are currently posting course descriptions online.  You can find them on the master schedule in Novasis: just click on the Syllabus Available link for any course, and you will see the description in the Learning Objectives field.  The description should also tell you whether the course fulfills any areas for English majors, whether it counts for any concentrations or minors, and whether it counts for a diversity requirement.

3.  We are in the process of updating our main page for courses (http://www.villanova.edu/artsci/english/courses/), which will have charts telling you what English courses will fulfill what requirements.
