Introducing Women of Native American Communities. This mini-course
(May 5-June 2) provides an introductory glimpse of the rich and varied lives of women from contemporary North American communities.
We will study four themes currently manifested in Native American
communities: aesthetic production, spirituality and healing, political
advocacy, and maintenance of their traditional position of respect
and power. Mostly, the content of the course will be conveyed through the words, music, images, and representations of Native
American women themselves. Class meetings are mandatory. During the hour after class sessions, there will be an optional hour
for dialogue and discussion. Grading will be based on class attendance
and one final paper, 10-12 pages, with a choice of style and subject.
To allow you to sample the rewarding resources available, readings
will include both books and articles equivalent to one book per
week. Cost:2 WL: Overrides given at 1st class Cost:2 WL:3 (Larimore)
