Tuesday, 9 September – Women’s Studies, what is it about?
• Bring in our book-museum, Pérez’ book, Chicana Art.
• You are encouraged to bring in laptops or other electronic devices. How will we use them in class?
• What is Web Action? How will we activate it? (see below in red!)
• Check out Pérez’ teaching site: http://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/faculty/profile.php?person=12
• Start finding the artists in Pérez on the Web. Bring in an example to share. (See what KK did below: Ester Hernandez: do something similar and bring in the results!)

Women’s Studies is a scholarly field, a range of feminist actions, a set of issues that matter to women, an analysis of power and knowledge, and an intersectional intervention into dominant social structures. Our class is an introduction into all of these, by way of engaging the interrelationships between Women, Art, and Culture. How will we use Pérez to help us care about it all?
WEEK OF 16 SEPTEMBER—NO CLASS EITHER TUESDAY OR THURSDAY SO YOU CAN HAVE TIME TO VISIT MORE MUSEUMS!
You should have started the museum assignment already, already visiting and doing what you can during these hectic first weeks of classes. But we will not meet this whole week to give you as much room to complete it all as we can!! The assignment is due TUESDAY 30 SEPTEMBER!
===
WHAT IS WEB ACTION? how can you experiment with learning in real time on the web? what does this mean?
1) find someone in Pérez book whose work you like. (what if you don't have the book yet? remember it is on reserve at McKeldin. and remember YOU HAVE THE WEB!! how will that make it possible to do this assignment even if you don't have the book yet?)
2) what sort of web search and action turns up things they are doing NOW?
3) read bits about this person using the INDEX in Pérez.
4) how do you put what is in the book TOGETHER WITH what you find on the web?
