Coeducation and Women's Studies: Two Approaches to the Question of Woman's Place in the Contemporary University
1974
Overview
MANY HAVE FELT THAT PROVIDING WOMEN ACCESS TO ALL M INSTITUTIONS IN THE US, AUTOMATICALLY ASSURES THAT THEY WILL GAIN THE SAME SCHOLASTIC SKILLS AS THEIR M COUNTERPARTS. LITTLE EMPIRICAL STUDY HAS BEEN DONE TO MEASURE THE ACTUAL GAINS WOMEN HAVE MADE SINCE BEING ADMITTED TO ALL-M INSTITUTIONS. MUCH MORE THAN ADMITTANCE MUST BE ALTERED; CURRICULUM CONTENT & THE VARIETIES OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE OFFERED MUST ALSO BE EVALUATED. THE POTENTIAL FOR SUBSEQUENT CAREER DEVELOPMENT MUST ALSO BE CONSIDERED. 2 POINTS OF VIEW ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY VOCAL. ONE SIDE ARGUES THAT WOMEN NEED ONLY GAIN ADMITTANCE TO M INSTITUTIONS & THEY WILL GAIN EQUALITY. THE OTHER SAYS THAT WOMEN NEED TO STUDY & SHARE IN THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHER WOMEN & TO GROW EDUCATIONALLY IN THE PRESENCE OF A F PEER GROUP. THERE IS SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT WOMEN DO ACHIEVE MORE WHEN THEY ARE IN ALL-F INSTITUTIONS. THE DIFFICULT QUESTION OF THIS ISSUE IS SIMILAR ONE FACING ALL SUPPRESSED MINORITIES: SHOULD ONE GAIN POWER BY LEARNING & MASTERING THE SKILLS OF THE DOMINANT GROUP OR SHOULD ONE GAIN THE CAPACITY TO CONFRONT THAT GROUP. CONCERNED WOMEN SHOULD STRIVE TO DEVELOP & MAINTAIN MEANINGFUL COHERENT CURRICULUM WITHIN EXISTING INSTITUTIONS. ISOLATED WOMEN'S STUDIES PROGRAMS ARE NOT THE ANSWER NOR IS MERELY BEING ADMITTED TO ALL-M INSTITUTIONS. WHAT IS NEEDED IS UNIFIED ACTION & RATIONAL REFORM WITHIN THE STRUCTURES NOW IN OPERATION. B.
