The Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Oversight Committee at Furman is seeking an ACS faculty development grant to enable us to sponsor a Queer Theory and Sexuality Studies Seminar at Furman.

This seminar will include 5 reading syllabi over the course of five different months between March 1st and August 15th 2011.

Proposal to Change Women's and Gender Studies to Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Nick Radel
Proposal written by Nick Radel, Furman faculty member and co-chair of The Women's and Gender Studies Oversight Committee. Proposal: At the Women's and Gender Studies Retreat last fall, the Oversight Committee, along with other WGS Faculty members in attendance, agreed unanimously that the name of the Women's and Gender Studies Concentration should be changed to Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies so that the Concentration title might reflect better the work we presently do as well as focusing our attention on the need to develop the study of sexuality in ways consistent with work being done at comparable liberal art colleges across the United States. In keeping with present policy of creating three-letter acronyms for departments and concentrations at Furman, we propose that the acronym for WGS remain the same, but that in the future all extended spellings of the Concentration title be styled WGS: Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

Developing a Gender Oriented Strategic Plan for Women's and Gender Studies at Furman
Nick Radel
A proposal for an ACS Faculty Renewal Grant. Goals and Objectives: The Women's and Gender Studies Concentration at Furman University has a long history of teaching first-rate courses in Women's Studies, however, five or so years after adding "Gender Studies" to the title of the Concentration, its Co-Chairs and Oversight Committee recognize that Furman perhaps lags behind other schools in intergrating both gender and sexuality as larger epistemological categories of analysis into our classrooms.
