His Story/Her Story: A Dialogue About Including Men and Masculinities in the Women’s Studies Curriculum
Feminist Teacher
(2005)
Abstract
Three faculty members and two program directors in Women's/Gender/Men's Studies contend that Men's Studies can provide an important complement to Women's Studies programs. The director of Women's Studies at Saint Cloud State University, Minnesota, discusses the incorporation of gender studies into Women's Studies programs; a program director describes the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University's (CSB/SJU) evolution from a position where many Women's Studies faculty were wary of Men's Studies to support of the incorporation of Men's Studies as an explicit requirement of two required courses for their Gender and Women's Studies minor; two longtime Gender and Women's Studies faculty members at CSB/SJU describe the evolution of the introductory course from focusing on women to integrating men and men's concerns; and a dean of students and a relatively new Men's Studies instructor considers men's engagement in Men's Studies from these dual locations.
