This course will focus on ordinary women who are working collectively in diverse social settings to empower themselves and others. It will explore barriers women face, goals, and strategies for social change, and the rewards and challenges of social action. The content for the course is provided by 24 one-hour videotapes broadcast on KAET, the teleclass study guide, and other readings for the course. The course is facilitated by Dr. Kathleen Ferraro. Most students will be able to go through the course with very little contact with the Course Facilitator, but, whenever a student needs a point clarified about the course content, requirements, and exams or has other questions, the student may contact the Facilitator or the TA by phone, e-mail, or U.S. mail at the numbers and addresses indicated above.
Students can expect a response as quickly as possible.
However, students who have not received a response within a reasonable period following their request should re-contact the Facilitator to ensure that the message was not lost in transit. This course requires that students be self-motivated and able to work independently. Students should keep track of deadlines, maintain personal copies of all work submitted, and contact the Course Facilitator if they have any questions or concerns about their progress in the course. The tapes will finish broadcasting before the official end of the ASU semester. Occasionally, there are problems with the broadcasts.
