Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies
During Spring semester Deborah Belle had the terrific experience of co-teaching a course through the Graduate Consortium on Women’s Studies (GCWS), which currently is based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Consortium brings together faculty and students from all of the Boston-area universities and colleges who share an interest in women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. Most Consortium courses involve a team of faculty who come from different institutions and from different disciplines. Deborah Belle, a professor of psychology, worked with Lisa Dodson, a sociologist at Boston College, and Randy Albelda, an economist at U. Mass. Boston, to teach a course on Gender and Poverty in the United States. Students also came from many disciplines and from most of the universities which participate in the GCWS, including Harvard, MIT, Brandeis, Boston College, and Boston University. “It was exciting to work with faculty and students from such diverse backgrounds. I learned a great deal, and I look forward to bringing much of what I learned to my future teaching at Boston University,” said Professor Belle.
