CUNY DIGITAL HISTORY ARCHIVE

This 1983 issue of the Newsletter from the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS) opened with Eleanor Fapohunda reviewing Women and Development: Theory and Practice, a one-day conference on March 23, 1983. One of the conference's stated goals was to create a better relationship between academics, activists, and policymakers. This was followed by the "Calls for..." section, which included solicitations for papers, posters, and monetary contributions. The "Resources" section shared information on support groups, publications, photographs, films, and databases, while the "Women's Studies" section provided information on seven interdisciplinary courses offered at the CUNY Graduate Center for the upcoming Fall 1983 semester. The "Book Reviews" section contained a review by Eve Hochwald of "The Working Mother: A Survey of Problems and Programs in Nine Countries" by Alice H. Cook and "Flexi-Time: Where, When and How?" by Pam Silverstein and Jozetta H. Srb. The Newsletter concluded with a list of professional opportunities available to Center members, including a manuscript competition, a new degree program, an institute, and fellowships.
