PROPOSED CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IN WOMENS STUDIES
In the Spring of 1988, Women's Studies employed one of our graduate students
(via Work-Study) to conduct a feasibility study of a Certificate Program in
Women's Studies. We wanted to know whether there was interest in such a
program among B.C. community groups working on behalf of women
whether community groups were willing to work with us to set up practica for
the students. Seventeen of the nineteen groups who responded to our contacts
said that a certificate program in W.S. would be beneficial to them, and eleven
groups expressed a desire to work with us to set up practica. Groups who have
confirmed their willingness to participate in student practica include:
The Vancouver Women's Health Collective
The Mental Patient's Association
Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter
West Coast Legal Education and Action Fund
Port Coquitlam Women's Resource and Drop-In Centre
S.F.U. Daycare
Womenskills
We believe that the proposed Certificate Program will offer students a unique
opportunity to combine theory and practice. They will take a minimum of 30
credits in Women's Studies plus 13 weeks of training in a community group for
21\2 days\week. Like other certificate programs at S.F.U., ours emphasizes
lower division courses, and we also require 12 credit-hours at the 300 level.
The practicum will be supervised jointly by the W.S. curriculum committee and
the community group in which the student works.
Calendar Entry:
Certificate Program in Women's Studies
The certificate program provides a combination of academic training in
Women's Studies and practical training in community work on behalf of
women. It is open to all students who meet normal Simon Fraser University
requirements for admission.

?
Practicum:
The practicum consists of satisfactory completion of supervised training
and work in a community group
,
which promotes the well-being of
women. (Students will not receive a grade for the practicum.) The
terms of the practicum will
,
be arranged among the W.S. Curriculum
Committee, the community group and the student. The student will be
expected to work at the practicum 21/2 days/week for 13 weeks.
Students already working in an appropriate community group while
they are enrolled in the Certificate Program will be able to count that
work toward the practicum. The purpose of the practicum is to gain
skills and experience in applying the knowledge students have acquired
in their academic Women's Studies courses.
NOTE: In accordance with the University rules governing
certificate programs (see the general information section), the credits
accumulated toward the certificate program may be applied also to
major programs or minor programs or to a Bachelor's degree at the
University.
Estimated Cost of the Program:
No additional faculty of sessional instructors will be needed to offer the
certificate program, as students can fulfill its requirements by taking existing
course offerings, and we do not expect to have more that ten students per term
in the program.

This course examines three genres adopted by women to learn what women reveal
about the:tr self-perceptions and perspectives on the world in three different forms.
We will address three major questions. First, to what extent do the conventions of
the genre or the period determine the content? Second, how does the "audience"
influence the content, or what difference does it make that women write for their own
eyes, as in journals, or for their family, as in many memoirs, or for a mass audience,
as ifl autobiographies? Third, is theirs a specifically "feminine" imagination at work,
or are there recurring themes or symbols that distinguish women's from men's point of
view.
The course includes lectures which will outline the conventions of genre and
period and indicate the range of self-expression, male and female, within the three
forms in three discrete historical and geographic limits defined by the assigned
readings. In tutorials as well as in the lectures, we will discuss amemoir describ-
ing the experiences of a Jewish woman in early modern Europe, an autobiography of
a woman in early twentieth century Canada, and thematic excerpts from contemporary
(largely American) women.

?
NB Students must read and write a brief journal report upon the required
reading every week. The journal entry should be fifty to five hundred
words in length and (some portion of it at least) should be read to
the tutorial.
Journals should record your reaction to the form, content, or 1mph-
iions of the reading and may include those personal reactions that
you wish to share with the tutorial or instructor.
Journals must be submitted to the instructor on Tuesday, 1 October,
Tuesday, 5 November, and Tuesday, 3 December.
Tutorials will discuss the form, content and themes of each reading.
Over the course
of
the semester, more comparisons should be made, so
that we can compare the genres, life-styles, and self-awareness in
the three works read in common, and in the readings for oral reports
and papers.
Recommended readings are for those who wish to pursue a particular
interest or to help in the choice
of
paper topics.

Examines some of the ways in which popular culture organizes female
perceptions and desire. It will focus upon four very successful
genres of popular culture, all of which pointedly address a female
audience: the Harlequin romance, the contemporary gothic novel, the
women's film and the soap opera. We will investigate the social
and psychoanalytic. ramifications of these four genres as well as
their structural and stylistic properties. Attention will also be

Ra
ti
onale: This long and overly-detailed course description is now out
of line with both the other W.S. course descriptions and the actual
content of the course it describes. The proposed new description is
sufficiently general to suit the intellectual predilections of more than
one possible teacher of the course.
We also propose to change W.S. 310-5 to W.S. 310-3 and to change the
description and prerequisites from:
(seminar)
prerequisites: 9 credits in W.S., including W.S. 100.
to:
(lecture/tutorial)
Prerequisites: 60 credit hours or W.S. 100
Rationa
le
' : We find we are offering more 3-credit and fever 5-credit
"Special opics" courses than we expected. We need another 3-credit
"Special Topics" number, and we no longer need the extra 5-credit
number.

SUBJECT: Changes in prerequisites
?
DATE: March 14, 1989
for W.S. courses.
The Women's Studies Co-ordinating Committee proposes the following
changes in prerequisites for Women's Studies courses:
1.
For W.S. 200-3 and W.S. 203-3:
From: W.S. 100 (may be taken
concurrently,
with the approval of
the Co-ordinating Committee).
: W. S. 100 (may be take concrent.1y).
Rationale: No problems have arisen concerning students taking the
two courses concurrently, and this will simplify the
procedure for registration.
2.
For W.S. 300-5
W.S. 310-5
.
?
W.S. 311-5
W.S. 400-5:
• ?
from: Nine credits including
W.S.
100 arid any two 200 division
Women's Studies courses.
: Nine credits in Women's Studies, including W.S. 100.
Rationale: A significant number of students who take W.S. 100
chooses not to minor in Women's Studies but takes
several 3-credit W.S. special topics courses at the
300-level. Instructors agree that these students are
able to handle the 5-credit upper-level seminars and
therefore waive the prerequisites for students with
W.S. 100 and two additional W.S. courses. This
proposed change brings the calendar in line with the
practice.
3. For W.S. 401-5:
From: W.S. 100 and any two 200 division Women's Studies courses;
permission of instructor; approval of proposed project by
Co-ordinating Committee.
To: Nine credits in Women's Studies, including W.S. 100;
permission of the instructor; approval of proposed project by
Co-ordinating
Committee.

For W.S. 492-2 and W.S. 403-3:

permission of instructor; approval of course proposal by
Co-ordinating Committee.
: Nine credits in Women's Studies, including W.S. 100;
permission of instructor; approval of course proposal by
Co-ordinating Committee.
Rationale: Same as for W.S. 401-5.
5. For W.S. 301-3
W.S. 302-3
W.S.
303-3:
From: 60 credit hours..
To: 60 credit hours or.W.S. 100.
• Rationale: Students who have completed W.S. 100 are sufficiently
well-prepared to take the 300-level special topics
lecture courses before they complete 60 credit hours.
Instructors have been giving permission for them to do
so, and this proposed change brings the calendar in
line with the practice.
6.
For W.S. 304-3 and W.S. 305-3:
From: 60 credit hours or permission of the instructor.
To: 60 credit hours or W.S. 100.
ationa1e: Students who have taken W.S. 100 will be sufficiently
well-prepared to take these courses. This change will
simplify registration procedures.

RE: Change to W.S. Minor
?
DATE ?
22 March 1989
Requirements
Further to my March 14 memo regarding proposed changes to Women's
Studies course prerequisites, this is to note that those changes
will necessitate the following amendment to the WS Minor's upper
division requirements:
From:
"Fifteen semester hours, including WS 400-5 Advanced Women's
Studies. Students pursuing a minor must normally fulfill
lower level requirements before enrolling in 400 division
courses for credit toward the minor, except with permission of
the Co-ordinating Committee. Transfer
