Proposal for a Women's Studies Program at Brooklyn College
This proposal for a Women's Studies Program at Brooklyn College describes a nationwide demand for courses on the subject. The document illuminates the co-founders' preliminary arguments for such a program, as well as their first ideas about how to situate and structure the program within the university. Authors cite the need to examine and transform the position of women in society, and the need for Brooklyn College to be competitive in this field. The proposal advocates for a feminist pedagogy that would be best served by establishing an interdisciplinary program, which was realized shortly thereafter with baccalaureate accreditation in 1974.
