Towson State University Resource Center for Integrating the Scholarship on Women into the Curriculum Preliminary Proposal

Towson State University Resource Center for Integrating the Scholarship on Women into the Curriculum Preliminary Proposal Introduction: Integrating into the traditional curriculum the new information about women produced in the last several decades has been the primary obJective of approximately one hundred faculty development proJects, large and small, across the country. These proJects have identified and created a variety of resources that would benefit the many other institutions undertaking such revision. However, these resources are widely scattered and difficult to locate and obtain. This is a proposal to establish a centralized resource center at Towson State University within the Towson Center for the Study of Women and Education. Under the direction of a skilled director this resource center will provide the kinds of assistance that institutions need to proceed effectively with their own integration efforts. In the absence of further grant funding for integration proJects, it is especially important to utilize already existing resources. Printed Resources: Several books of general discussion and advice Grant proJect materials on several campuses Published: compilations of short essays, advice, evaluations, sample syllabi, and bibliographies newsletters working papers bibliographies Unpublished: questionnaires, evaluation forms, bibliographies selected for special purposes or groups, workshop exercises, conference formats, proposals, essays and lerge numbers of syllabi not represented in the published sample Unpublished classroom materials of individual faculty
