Here is a useful and illustrative guide for those interested in the
impact of feminist scholarship on traditional academic disciplines.
This important book explores the changes that have taken place in
the academic world as a result of feminist approaches to
scholarship, including issues of staffing, organization,
administration, recruitment, student support, faculty advancement,
and learning. Appropriate for readers not familiar with feminist
scholarship as well as for those who are deeply interested in the
message of feminist scholarship, Foundations for a Feminist
Restructuring of the Academic Disciplines comes out of the
experiences of women who are intimately involved with feminist
pedagogy and curriculum transformation. The contributors describe a
variety of educational environments that feminists have established
in the academy, reflecting various disciplines.This profoundly
important book raises new questions about the bias in traditional
education and challenges basic assumptions about women--in
education and society. In chapter after chapter, readers discover
changes in perspective and knowledge brought on by feminist
approaches to scholarship: the common images of women in literature
written by men and contrast them with women writers'revisions of
these traditional images the elimination and/or misrepresentation
of women in the history books a feminist perspective on and
critique of the image of women as traditionally analyzed by
economists the major feminist challenges to political science the
traditional and contemporary approaches to women in psychological
theory and research how the teaching and practice of medicine, as
it is related to women and women s health issues, has served to
communicate an unfair and erroneous image of woman
First Published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
In 1984, Billie Dziech co-wrote "The Lecherous Professor," one of
the first books to articulate the problem of sexual harassment on
college campuses. Since that time a number of books exploring the
issues, cases, and laws have moved the topic into the public eye.
This work, the brainchild of a lawyer and an academic, reflects on
some of the more controversial and overlooked aspects of sexual
harassment and its litigation and law.
Chapters cover the legal and regulatory evolution of the issue and
its context in higher education at the end of the 20th century; the
importance of having colleges approach policy making and harassment
by analyzing their own environment; an examination of the treatment
of women experiencing harassment, with special focus on women who
appear unscathed by it; the situation of the male on campus and the
problem of non-meritorious cases; the most familiar myths of
consensual relationships and the role of bans in dealing with them;
and the contention that the sexual harassment issue has exposed
higher education's excesses and contradictions.
