Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
HIST
307, Women in the Modern Civil Rights Movement
Effective Date: Fall 2006
1. Add: On page
137, new course HIST 306
306 Southern
Women’s History (3)
Introduces students to some of the major themes in
southern women’s history. Class
position, the dominant racial hierarchy, and ideas about gender all shaped the
lives of southern women. At the same time, women crafted strategies of
resistance, forged new identities for themselves, and projected their goals and
interests into the southern public sphere. The course analyzes southern women
as historical actors who helped, and often fought, to make their world. Every other year.
Impact: Adding this class will enhance our course offerings
in History and Women’s Studies.
Rationale: Course has been taught three times in the past six
years. We would like to add it to the History curriculum. This class will not
require additional resources, and can be taught by more than one member of the
History faculty.

307 Women in the Modern
Civil Rights Movement (3)
Explores,
analyzes, and investigates the impact that women had on the modern civil rights
movement. What roles did women play in the modern Civil Rights Movement? Did
women bring unique perspectives and organizing strategies to this significant
political movement for African American liberation? Does uncovering the
position of women in the struggle give new meaning to the modern civil rights
movement? Can we explore the significance of gender difference without falling
victim to gender antagonism? Every other year.
