The grant would enable us to prepare co1.1rses, both departmental and interdisciplinary_, in Literature, Philosophy, Art, and History. 'I'he courses would be available as a special concentration or major to students in the college and to the community as well. During 1972-73 we plan to conduct two pilot courses, plus a series of workshops to evaluate these courses and explore the dimensions of a Women's Studies program. The bulk of the released t iln.e would be spent researching and planning the new courses described herein .. In order to develop the program we are requesting funds for released time for two co ... directors of the project and for five other faculty members.
