WOMEN’S STUDIES INTERNSHIP WITH STIPEND FOR SPRING SEMESTER 2007

CALL FOR PROPOSALS FROM UW-SUPERIOR STUDENTS

Earn a stipend of up to $1000 for creating and implementing a project in the Women¹s Resource Center during spring semester 2007. The successful applicant will be a UW-Superior student who envisions and coordinates a one-semester activism project that engages other students and addresses women’s, gender, and/or sexuality issues. Women’s Studies independent study credit can also be earned, by agreement between the successful applicant and an instructor eligible to offer WST 499.

A range of projects is possible. Propose one that springs from your passion and commitment to women¹s, gender, and sexuality issues. Examples could include coordinating a semester-long consciousness-raising group, organizing a group of students to implement educational programming on a campus gender or sexuality issue, or facilitating a group of students in the publication of a feminist newsletter or zine. These are just a few examples. The possibilities are open-ended. Some resources will be available through the Women¹s Resource Center budget for materials, copying, books, etc.

Requirements

The successful applicant will write her/his own job description and goals, in consultation with the Women¹s Studies Coordinator. The Coordinator and intern will meet to evaluate the intern¹s performance at mid-term and at the end of the semester. Evaluation criteria will be based on the description and goals. At the discretion of the  Coordinator, the payment of mid-term and end-of-semester stipends may be adjusted down from the maximum amount, based on performance.

If the successful applicant desires WST 499 independent study credit for work on this project, details will be negotiated with the instructor offering the credit.
