Experiments in Feminist Learning: liminocentric

WMST498R or WMST698F

Advanced Special Topics in Women's Studies; Experiments in Feminist Learning

Tu 4:00pm - 6:30pm WDS 2101C

W 1:00pm - 3:30pm WDS 2101C

How do feminists take up the challenges of non-traditional educational possibilities in a climate of restructuring universities?

In this experiment in feminist learning we will all participate in an unusual meta-MOOC on The History and Future of Higher Education that uses the MOOC platforming structures to challenge our understandings of MOOCs and education today. On twitter follow the meta-MOOC communities with #futureEd

We will also become a DOCC, both meeting intermittently as a face to face class, and exploring these issues and more with other classes at Duke, Stanford, and elsewhere, using Google Hang Outs, Skype, Google Docs, and anything else that will allow us to make alliances and, we hope, an international movement on behalf of our own educational futures.

You can sign up for a graduate version or an undergraduate version, you can meet face to face in either time slot, you can work out an independent study or an audit. Contact Katie King (katking@umd.edu) for more details on all possibilities.
