Letters requesting information regarding the Gender Balancing Project of CSWS

Description

This file from 1986 included inquiries from various educators about the Center for the Study of Women and Society's (CSWS) guide for"Putting Women into CUNY's Curriculum." This Fall 1985 publication contained resources and materials for community colleges to integrate Women's Studies materials into their curricula. Solicitations came from Nassau Community College, City University of New York (CUNY) Kingsborough Community College, Union College, Western Michigan University, Clements High School in Texas, and State University of New York (SUNY)'s Brockport and Buffalo campuses. The file also included information on correspondence from then CSWS director Sue Rosenberg Zalk to Professor Eleanor Drabo, confirming her role as a collaborator on the guide. There was also correspondence from the Formative Evaluation Research Associates (FERA), which had received a grant from the Ford Foundation to study the impact of projects aimed at integrating Women's Studies material and perspectives into undergraduate curricula.
Since 1977, the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS), Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY) has promoted interdisciplinary feminist scholarship. The Center’s research agenda focuses on the intersectional study of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, and nation in societies worldwide. The Center co-sponsors the Women’s Studies Certificate Program and, most notably, hosts the only stand-alone Women’s and Gender Studies MA Program in New York City.
