The substantive focus of the course will be on the relationship of 

ideological knowledge

The Berger Inquiry challenged traditonal patterns of government 

decision making by putting the question of the future of the North before 

the people who live in nothern communities. The Berger Inquiry, however, 

was only the first step in developing northern and pipeline policy, and

the new Alcan Regulatory Agency Inquiries, their impact on the people 

in the North, and on the policies of development. Speakers will include 

participants from each Inquiry and members of community and interest groups 

who presentedmajor briefs. Films, reports and transcripts from the 

Hearings and other material will provide background.

Canadian culture, mainly in the period from about 1700 to the present. North- 

west Coast Indian art and Innuit art will be included, as well as European and

current social life.

WOMEN'S STUDIES 300-5 

FEMINIST THEORY 

Instructor: Susan Wendell 

?

Spring 1978 

Thoughtful people 

of many generations have given us analyses of the 

nature and origin 

of sexism and the oppression of women. Liberals have 

emphasized the 

importance of the prejudice, ignorance, and immorality of 

individuals 

and the reinforcement of these by governments. Marxists have 

focused on the

economic conditions which demand women's oppression. Radical 

feminists have 

analyzed sexist societies in terms of a basic male/female 

split 

and

the

nearly universal undervaluing of whatever is associated with 

females. 

In our 

seminar we will 

look

at sane of the most interesting and 

influential

these analyses and at the political goals and strategies 

they generate'. We 

will criticize and compare feminist theoretical writings - 

liberal, Marxist, 

and radical feminist - with the aim of assimilating what 

is valuable to us from 

each. 

The

semnar will meet for two two-hour-long sessions per week. 

The

instructor 

or guests may lecture from time to time. Students will be 

expected 

take some responsibility for class discussions. 

Readings:

The

Feminist Papers, edited by Alice S. Rossi (selected parts) 

Women's Estate, by Juliet Mitchell 

The Gurillres, 

by Monique Wittig 

Reprints 

to be handed out in class, including selections from 

Firestone and Figes. 

There will be 

an average of fifty pages reading per week. 

Written Assignments: 

Students 

will

be

expected to write one short essay on an assigned 

topic, one research 

project, and a take-home exam (a total of approximately 

4000-5000 words 

for the course).

SPRING 1978 

SPECIAL TOPICS: W4EN AND THE 

PROFESSIQIS 

Why are there "male" professions and "female" professions? Are women 

innately suited to be teachers, nurses, social workers and librarians, 

and unsuited to be engineers, scientists, or ministers? Are they better 

as pediatricians, gynecologists, and family law practitioners than as 

surgeons or corporate lawyers? Do the Canadian divisions between male 

and female professions pertain all over the world? Are the "female" 

professions, in fact, true professions? 

To answer these questions we will establish a definition of "profession", 

trace the history of the sex-typing of the professions in Canada, explore 

the ways' in which this sex-typing has affected the actual development of 

the professions, and study the impact of the structure of the professions 

on the participation of women in them. 

The course will consist of one two-hour' evening lecture and a one-hour 

tutorial each 'week. There will be two short essays and a take home final 

required.

%1EN IN THE VISUAL ARTS 

?

Day Course 

This course will deal with women painters, sculptors, craftspersons, 

critics and patrons. It will discuss such questions as: What were the 

circumstances which made Gertrude Stein in Paris, Princess Tsencheiva in 

Russia and Katherine 

Dreier in New York leading art patrons of their day? 

Why have women from 

pre-historic to modern times been the weavers, potters 

and enthroiderors of society? Is there a female manner of painting or a 

feminine 

touch in sculpture? Why have Renaissance artists the calibre of 

Sofanisba Anguissola 

been ignored by scholars? Why did the strongest and 

most innovative 

paintings during the Russian Revolution come from women? 

What are the traditional 

roles for women in the visual arts? Have women 

been "professionals" 

in the arts only in this century and what has made 

such professionalization possible? 

This course 

will be divided into twelve units, to be explored by illustrated 

lectures and student seminars.
