Women's Studies 699: Independent Study (I facilitated a core group of 5 graduate students in a self-directed seminar on "Research: The Internet," Spr. 1995.)

GRADUATE STUDENT ADVISEMENT

Women's Studies did not begin accepting students for course work for its new Ph.D. program until Fall 2000, so as of this date no student for whom I have been Director has yet completed a thesis. We have had a graduate certificate in Women's Studies since 1993, so I have taught and advised graduate students in the Certificate program, but we have no exams or thesis requirement for the Certificate. I am also an affiliate faculty member of American Studies, Comparative Literature and Performance Studies and serve regularly on exam, thesis and dissertation committees for those Programs and for several others, here and in Australia.
