This is an interdisciplinary course that serves as an introduction to feminist and women’s studies. The course draws upon feminist ideas and scholarship in developing historical, theoretical and cross-cultural frameworks for the comparative study of women and gender. The course will explore our gendered existence: how we perform femininity and masculinity and how this interacts with other aspects of our identities, such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and sexuality. Within this course students are challenged to question traditional knowledge about women and men and to examine difference among women. By sharpening student’s critical awareness of how gender operates in the world, this course gives students opportunities to imagine and participate in social change. Topics will include: health and reproductive rights, systems of inequality, constructions of sexuality and gender, family systems, women in the labor force, violence against women and activism.
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.
Now that you're thinking about what makes a "good" Wikipedia article, consider some additional questions.
You should add a small contribution to an article related to your class, or add a citation to a claim that doesn't have one.
It's time to choose an article and assign it to yourself.
You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing.
Creating a new article?
Improving an existing article?
Keep reading your sources, too, as you prepare to write the body of the article.
Resources:
Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Editing an existing article?
Creating a new article?
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Content Expert at any time if you need further help!
It's the final week to develop your article.
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
