B Y T H E N U M B E R S The Program in Women's Studies• In the late 1970s, members of the Princeton faculty including Suzanne Keller, Natalie Davis, Nancy Malkiel, Lionel Gossman, Froma Zeitlin, John Bonner and Edward Sullivan began to talk with their colleagues and the administration about the form that an academic program in women's studies might take. • After wide consultation, the Princeton faculty voted in 1981 to establish the program, and Malkiel was named acting director. Kay Warren was appointed founding director in 1982, joining the faculty in the anthropology department. • Faculty who have served as directors and acting directors over the past years have been: Maria DiBattista, English and comparative literature; Christine Stansell, history; Suzanne Nash, French and Italian; Laura Engelstein, history; and Deborah Nord, English, who is currently the director. • In 1999, Carol Armstrong was appointed to the Doris Stevens Professorship in Women's Studies. Armstrong, an art historian who writes on 19th-century European painting and on photography, is also a professor in the Department of Art and Archaeology. • There are 16 members of the program committee and 11 members who are associated faculty. • The program graduates between 12 and 15 certificate students per year. In 1991, 21 seniors earned certificates. • The program also oversees a bimonthly Graduate Colloquium that brings together graduate students from various departments to discuss their research. Since 1985, graduate students associated with the program have produced Critical Matrix, a journal of feminist scholarship published twice a year. • Among the courses offered by the program are "Gender and Science," "Sex, Sexuality and Gender," "Women in Modern Art," "Sociobiology, Sex Roles and Human Development" and "Women and Film." |
