Two Seniors Comment on Their Experiences with WGS

Rebecca Sprinson
Q: What is the topic of your thesis?
My thesis is titled “This Land Is Our Land: The Ideological Construction of a Lesbian Feminist Utopia in Southern Oregon, 1970–1990.” I’m examining the magazines and newsletters produced by women who lived on women-only farms, collectives, and communes in southern Oregon, which was a nexus of the lesbian-feminist back-to-the-land movement.

A Long Time Coming

Women’s and Gender Studies is happy to announce that it has finally become a department. Benefiting from the political work of ethnic studies and its struggle to become a department as well as the unconditional support of our new dean, Scott Coltrane, in winter 2009 Women’s and Gender Studies was finally recognized as a fully legitimate, autonomous, interdisciplinary intellectual space.
