syllabus four nine one four nine one a gender studies class blog for spring 2012 home syllabus syllabus wmst 491 special topics wgss on the web spring 2012 instructor kate gramlich email kategramlich gmail com or maymyheart gmail com online glitterpits fb com kate gramlich office hours by appointment in person or online course description wmst 491 is a senior level or advanced seminar course in women gender sexuality studies its focus is on ways that gender and sexuality are embodied discussed affect and are effected by online spaces we will be specifically exploring how blogs social networking sites and online media outlets are used and are therefore drawing upon both academic and non academic sources to aid in our discovery and exploration of the internet there is no textbook for this course class readings will be available in pdf format or as online articles some readings will actually be youtube videos twitter hash tags and blog posts because of the material we will be having our conversations both face to face and online using our class blog your personal blogs and various social networking sites as you see fit i am interested in seeing how we as a class can contribute to larger discussions about these spaces which means that we will be interacting with others online and moving beyond our bodies beyond this classroom beyond siuc course objectives to establish a basic understanding of feminist theories specifically third wave feminism and cyberfeminism to observe and reflect on how technology shapes and is shaped by our gendered lives in areas such as media healthcare education sexuality and politics to take the opportunity to put theory into practice by watching and participating in digital spaces blogs social networking online communities to investigate the positive and negative aspects of virtual identity to encourage critical thinking about gender culture technology and identity thanks to leandra preston of university of central florida course requirements participation in class as a college student it is your responsibility to read the assigned readings for each class and be prepared to discuss them participation is a crucial part of this course as it helps us to share ideas and expand our perceptions you will be expected to ask and respond to questions give thoughtful insights share personal experience if comfortable and or applicable and generally demonstrate to us that you are paying attention and engaging with the material online because of the nature of this course and its materials online participation is as important as face to face interactions we will be discussing articles and media online as well as reading and responding to one another s blog posts the main purpose of both in class and online participation is to demonstrate that you are reading listening and thinking this is a small advanced course and therefore your participation is crucial weekly readings each week you will be assigned readings from academic journals books and blogs that relate to the intersections between online and gendered identities you are required to read these pieces and come prepared to discuss them in class on tuesdays this goes along with participation as you will be speaking with the class about what you read not reading and not participating are not options if i feel we are not doing the readings as the semester progresses i will require discussion questions prepared and printed beforehand blogging you will be expected to participate in our group blog each week on thursdays in lieu of face to face meetings you will also be maintaining your own personal blog hosted by wordpress com throughout the week as a class we will decide how best to balance these two by discussing specific blogging prompts and agreeing upon a common standard of engagement it is my goal for you to follow at least two online feminist news sources and both synthesize and react to the posts that you read each week the purpose of this is to become a more critical consumer of the internet while expanding your interests on topics of your choice presentation i would like you to present on your blog and on the topics you are most interested at the end of the semester we can discuss the details of this as a group papers you will be required to write two short 2 3 page papers during the semester so as to develop your ability to write academically and practice writing succinctly for an offline audience clarity and brevity will be the focus of these papers prompts for these papers will be given as the semester progresses class policies attendance your agreement as a student of this university is to show up for class in addition this is short and there are very few of you meaning that each class period is important you are allowed two personal days i e two tuesdays for vacations hangovers etc because siuc recognizes certain extenuating circumstances as excused if you provide documentation of excused absences to me ahead of time i will try to work with you late policy you are an adult repeated tardiness will count as absences email policy i love email and check it frequently i am more than thrilled to chat online with you if you have questions about the readings or would like to talk about your papers presentation make up work late work policy no make up papers presentations or blog posts will be allowed academic dishonesty you are welcomed to this classroom community with the assumption that the work you do will be your own presenting another s work as your own even if by accident is a serious violation of the student conduct code this policy counts for written work on paper and online plagiarism is theft plain and simple consult the undergraduate bulletin for policies on plagiarism and academic dishonesty severe penalties result from plagiarism and academic dishonesty from failing the paper to failing the class to being expelled from the university whether quoting paraphrasing or even summarizing someone else s work you should cite your sources failure to do so constitutes an act of plagiarism buying a paper online copying text from several web sites and turning in someone else s paper are all examples of plagiarism when you claim such works as your own suspected cases of plagiarism will be investigated following article v of the student conduct code if you are uncertain about citing sources please consult the writing center they are a great resource emergency procedures southern illinois university is committed to providing a
