Transforming Scholarship is a user-friendly work of practical
guidance and inspiration for supporting a student's interest in a
Women's Studies degree. Berger and Radeloff use empirical evidence
to help students with the major barriers they face when exploring
Women's Studies: the negative response a student often faces when
announcing to the world that he or she is interested in Women s
Studies; and the perceived lack of employment and career options
that supposedly comes with graduating with a Women's Studies
degree. This book will support students to think critically about
what they know, how to demonstrate what they know, and how to
prepare for life both personally and professionally after the
degree. Transforming Scholarship is a practical guide for students
interested in women s and gender studies that targets advanced
undergraduates who have a firm connection to the discipline. This
book is ideal for women s and gender capstone courses, and for
those who have finished their degree and need a resource to assist
in conceptualizing the answers to the question "What s next?"
This second edition of Transforming Scholarship focuses on areas
that undergraduates might want integrate into their women s and
gender studies education: study abroad, civic engagement projects,
internships, independent studies, and honors theses. It includes
exercises to help flesh out talents, passions, and skills, and how
to link them to employment, information about the diversity of
employment opportunities (and further professional training)
available, and a plan to help prepare for graduation. It also
delves into how to live a feminist life after graduation, including
activism after college, building and sustaining feminist
communities, and feminist parenting. The authors have also added
new "Point of View" boxes throughout the book, where scholars focus
on contemporary issues and deepen a student s understanding of the
organizations and individuals fighting to end sexist
oppression."
