FYI... Stefanie Rixecker ECOFEM Coordinator ------- Forwarded message follows ------- -----Original Message----- From: JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Call for chapters/abstracts for an edited book The Woman-Centered University: Empowering Change. (tentative title) Dr. Leila McCoy and Dr. JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz are soliciting chapters for an expanded version of their earlier edited book: The Woman-Centered University: Interdisciplinary Perspectives. 1999. University Press of America, Inc. Lanham, MD. The theme of our previous work focused on what changes would have to take place if a university were to fully commit itself to providing women an equal education in the classroom and equality within the administration. Our goal in this second work is to build on the ideas of the first book by focusing on the themes of how we enable and empower women as students, faculty, and administrators in the university. Specifically, we are asking for chapters that address the ways in which we as faculty and administrators strive to both enable and empower women in the university in the following two areas: a) Pedagogy--what we teach, how we teach, and curriculum development that enables and empowers women, etc.; b) Institutional--what institutional barriers exist and what types or areas of institutional support promote our efforts to empower and enable women in university settings, etc.. We are hoping to have all chapters completed by August 30, 2001 and plan to begin the editing process in the Fall, 2001. If you are interested in contributing a chapter, please send an abstract by May1st, 2001 or a completed chapter to: Dr. JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz Department of Political Science Texas A&M University-Commerce Commerce, TX 75429-3011 Fax 903-886-5318 e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dr. JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz Assistant Professor Department of Political Science Texas A&M University-Commerce Commerce, TX 75429 903-886-5316 ------- End of forwarded message ------- ************************************ Dr. Stefanie S.
