How to Apply for a PhD Webinar
|
|
WGSS hosted a webinar last week on "How to Apply to PhD Programs" for graduate and undergraduate students. Professors Daiya, Deitch, Strader, and Matthiesen shared their advice on how to prepare a strong application, pick the right program, etc. whiles MA student Sarah-Anne Gresham shared her experience from a student perspective, as she leaves to join the PhD program in WGSS at Rutgers University in the Fall.

Tips on getting the best research paper, weighing GRE scores, interview skills, getting the best recommendations, and so much more were discussed.

Professor Strader has an upcoming paper entitled "Will You Die for Your Country? Workplace Death in an Era of Mass Incarceration”, which will be appearing in
the Sociological Forum
later this year. Professor Strader wrote it with a graduate student in the Trachtenberg school, Miranda Hines, and our MA student, Emily Hitchner provided a bit of help during the drafting stage of this paper.
This paper examines people with criminal records in the United States who continue to face limited employment opportunities due to social stigma and legal barriers. In contrast to the civilian sector, the military conducts a “whole person” evaluation to screen potential recruits and regularly hires people with felony and misdemeanor records. However, critics argue that the military exacerbates inequalities by subjecting marginalized communities to the unequal burden of service. Using the data obtained from the Army, we examine the relative risks of combat exposure and casualties between enlisted soldiers with and without criminal records who joined between 2002 and 2009. This paper explores the relationship between soldiers with criminal records and their experiences in the military compared to those without criminal records.

31134 / 31819
Course:
REL/WGSS 3481
Mode:

Beginning with a brief overview of women and society in ancient Mesopotamia up to the early centuries of Islam, this course investigates gender identities and relationships between men and women in Islam theologically, historically, culturally, and in consideration of political, social, and economic developments through time.

A variety of source materials, including the foundational texts of Islam, historical, narrative, and ethnographic accounts, videos and other audio-visual sources, and a range of women's studies scholarship, will provide frameworks for online lectures, written assessments will evaluate how dynamics of issues surrounding women, men, and gender in Islam emerge in different aspects of the lives of Muslims living in Muslim-majority countries and communities around the world.

Celebrating Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
|
|
Join the university community in celebrating the history and cultural expressions of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. This year's Asian and Pacific
Islander Heritage Celebration
(APIHC) theme "Broadcasting Ourselves" is intended to capture the growing presence and impact of Asian and Pacific Islander people and cultures in various "small screen" media, even when that representation is lacking on the "big screen." Being able to broadcast ourselves is more relevant than ever during a time when we have begun to engage in even more online and virtual communication to stay educated, connected, and true to ourselves!
Although we are unable to host our traditional in-person programming for APIHC 2020, our amazing student leaders in partnership with the Office for Student Life, and the Multicultural Student Services Center remain dedicated to recognizing these cultures in new, virtual ways that will help us spread cultural awareness, immersion, and intelligence to an even broader audience. Given the current circumstances and the abrupt end to this year's South Asian Heritage Celebration (SAHC) and Women's' History Month, APIHC 2020 will also be a time to engage with South Asian cultures, making it a most inclusive cultural heritage celebration!
We welcome everyone to connect with the MSSC on our
Facebook
(@GWMSSC) and
Instagram
(@gwmssc), where we will be sharing the latest updates about APIHC 2020, and exploring the beauty and diversity of Asian, South Asian and Pacific Islander cultures through posts and virtual events! Stay tuned for how you can get involved throughout April:
The Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Celebration 2020 Planning Committee is an impassioned group of Asian and Pacific Islander student organization leaders who are committed to sharing the full breadth of Asian and Pacific Islander culture while acknowledging their many contributions throughout American History.

Paper Airplanes, Instructors for Women in Tech
|
Paper Airplanes is a nonprofit organization that provides free, one-on-one language and skills learning for individuals whose lives and education have been interrupted due to conflict. They provide alternative pathways for our students to pursue their education by connecting them to their education and career goals and matching them with personal tutors for 8-12 week sessions conducted through Skype. As of now, they fun programs that teach English, coding to women, and Turkish to primarily Syrian refugees and Gazans. In the five years since they started, they have served approximately 1,300 students with 90% of students reporting significant improvement within a semester.
Their Women in Tech program works with women ages 18 - 35 who speak advanced English, have little to no coding experience, but are interested in learning coding. The program seeks to equip women with basic skills in coding languages such as CSS, JavaScript, and HTML. Each student is matched with an instructor and a personal mentor, who meets with her once a week to help with assignments and answer questions! At the end of the course, each woman student has three weeks to create her own small project to showcase her learning to potential employers. Paper airplanes focuses on working with women to empower them, especially marginalized women, and give them access to jobs in the programmer market, including the ability to work remotely.
They are currently looking for instructors to deliver the content for their Women in Tech program, especially individuals with experience in the coding languages above. They prefer candidates who also have previous experience teaching coding, and can speak some Arabic - but these aren't requirements! This is a volunteering position, with an expected time commitment of 4 - 6 hours per week. Importantly, they’re looking for people who are passionate about providing educational opportunities for women and refugees.

The Gender Equality Post-Pandemic Edition
|
|
Image Credit: World Economic Forum
Image Description: Female frontline worker
|
|
The World Economic Forum has outlined how to achieve economic gender equity through gender budgeting. The WEF shows that not one country in the entire world can say it has achieved equality among the genders. And between 2019 and 2020, there has been an additional 55 extra years to the timeline for closing the gender gap in economic equality. The COVID-19 has opened a unique avenue of gender budgeting that can open doors to economic gender equity.
