(3 units)
Course # 13498 Section 0205 ONLINE Alexia
Kosmider
Contact this instructor
prior to start of the term: akosmo@etal.uri.edu
Special Topics in Women's Studies
I: Native American Women. This course provides a broad
overview of indigenous women's traditional roles and responsibilities
prior to colonization and the ways in which they continue to
participate in and help shape their respective cultures. Our
exploration begins before colonization and the roles in which women
played and their life experiences as the result of contact with
European cultures, polices of removal, allotment, and disease. Our
exploration will be both historical and contemporary, as to divorce
oneself from the past leaves one not to understand the present
experiences of indigenous people. We will examine the colonists'
negative and stereotypical views of Native women, examining such ideas
as the Pocahontas complex and other images that circulate and continue
to perpetuate negative images of indigenous women. We will read the
works of early Indian women who interrogate and question the cultural
construct of their identities as well as current Native women such as
Wilma Mankiller, the former tribal leader of the Cherokee Nation, and
Winoma LaDuke whose activism is known world-wide. Our mapping of this
vast territory will encompass a variety of sources including assigned
weekly readings and literature written by Native women, video clips
from films and interviews. Our objective in this class is to create an
understanding of the ways in which culture shapes women's roles in
their societies and the transformation which occurs during cultural
contact, whether its in the early colonist period or modern day
attitudes toward Native peoples. We will attempt to explore such
questions as what it like to be a Native American woman in the 21st
century? Is it possible to be tribal? How do Native women's traditional
roles align or conflict with modern feminist ideas?

**Special Topics
in Women's Studies I (3 units)
WMS 350 Section 0201 Course
#10680
Special Topics in Women's Studies
I: Women and Health. This course examines the ways
in which health is a
gendered phenomenon. Specifically, we will look at the political,
economic,
and cultural factors that impact women’s health. During the semester,
we will
also examine how class, race, and ableness intersect with gender to
create
unique barriers and challenges for women and their health.
Each week we will cover a specific topic
related to the health of women. Some of these topics include, the
medical encounter, barriers to healthcare, premenstrual syndrome and
menopause, HIV risk and AIDS, genital surgery, sexuality, women with
disabilities, and violence against women. The course will also pay
close attention to developing increased understanding of women’s own
bodies (e.g., menstrual health, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual
assault, nutrition, pregnancy, health-promoting behaviors, cancer) as
well as contemporary health issues (e.g., hormone replacement
therapy, birth control). Assignments for the course will include weekly
readings, discussion questions, and brief writing assignments, and one
final paper on a topic related to women ’s health. By the end of the
course, you should be able to:
- Explain the social constructionist
view
of health as a
gendered phenomenon
- Identify genetic,
social/environmental, cultural,
psychological, and behavioral influences on women's health
- Analyze and
evaluate health-related materials and research from primary and
secondary
sources
- Describe women’s development
across
the lifespan
- Explain the impact
of class, race, sexual identity, and ableness on women’s experiences of
health
- Explain the history of the
women’s
health movement
- Describe models of health
behavior
change
- Discuss contemporary issues in
women’s health, including
issues of
health care access, sexual health, and victimization.

in Women's Studies: The Diva. This course focuses on

and sexual norms and inspire women to aspire to a fully-lived life.
This course will focus on a select group of 19th- and 20th-century
Divas, in their own words and those of their biographers and critics,
placing them in the context of the theater, music and literature of
their times, and against the tumultuous politics and wars between
post-Napoleonic Europe and present-day America. These figures, and
texts, will be read against the concurrent struggles for women's
equality and human rights. Subjects of the course will be
Sarah Bernhardt, Isadora Duncan, Maria Callas, Eva
Peron, Madonna, and Divine.
