The Cell Phone and Laptop Conundrum
A great tool…
A terrible distraction for others if you are using it for things other than class work
Where does your right to use your technology meet the right of those around you to
focus on the lecture?
Please – no cell phones unless you are tweeting at us (more on that later)

Where does the Women’s Studies Part come in?
McMaster Women’s Studies Website:
Women’s Studies is the critical examination of women’s lives, which places
women’s own experiences at its center
Hunter College Women’s Studies Collective:
Women’s Studies…is the study of women that places power at the center of its
analysis
Our Approach
We will look at successful (and, sometimes, less than successful) coalitions between
women who live the intersectional dynamics of gender, race, class, sexual identity,
religion, nationality and globalization in very different contexts.
The F Word – Where does Feminism Come in?:
What is the relationship of feminism to women’s studies?
