WHAT YOU NEED TO PREPARE FOR NEXT WEEK!
Tuesday, 8 September – Women’s Studies, what is it about?
• Bring in our book-museum, Pérez’ book, Chicana Art.
• You are encouraged to bring in laptops or other electronic devices. How will we use them in class?
• What is Web Action? How will we activate it?
• Check out Pérez’ teaching site: http://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/faculty/profile.php?person=12
• Start finding the artists in Perez on the Web. Bring in an example to share.
Women’s Studies is a scholarly field, a range of feminist actions, a set of issues that matter to women, an analysis of power and knowledge, and an intersectional intervention into dominant social structures. Our class is an introduction into all of these, by way of engaging the interrelationships between Women, Art, and Culture. How will we use Perez to help us care about it all?
WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU DON'T HAVE BOOK/S YET?
= consider digital version if available
= check out Library Reserves at McKeldin
= share with class buddies
= look up on the web: see what you can find out and read about
= look for articles on Research Port by same author or similar materials
In this case find out some of the artists mentioned in the book and look them up online whether you have the book yet or not!!! how do you find out? GOOGLE!! try "chicana art perez" and find out who they are....
DON'T DO NOTHING! DO DO RESEARCH! IN LIBRARY AND ONLINE! ALWAYS DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU DID AN ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITY AND WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM IT!
