• WGST 335: Sexuality of Childbirth

  3.00 Credits

  College of Charleston

  
  This course examines the sexuality of pregnancy and birth in the context of feminist thought by studying the medical model of birthing and comparing this with the midwifery model. Medicalized childbirth tends to dissociate sexuality from the experience of birth, and a cultural anxiety around childbirth points to a larger anxiety about female sexuality in general. In this course we will explore how midwifery care plays a key role in easing the physical, emotional, and psychological transition to motherhood while situating childbirth as a place of radical feminist discourse.

• WGST 338: Community-based Learning

  1.00 - 4.00 Credits

  College of Charleston

  
  Community-based learning is a teaching-learning strategy that combines community service with classroom learning. The benefits of this kind of experiential learning is that, when done effectively, it greatly enhances the educational experience for students and teachers, and provides benefits for the college/university and community. It teaches civic responsibility, the importance of strong communities, social advocacy and it promotes learning through active participation in community-based experiences. Each student enrolled in the class will complete a certain number of hours of service advocacy over the term according to the number of credit hours of the course (credit hours are variable). Your grade will be a combination of completion of hours, agency/organization evaluation of your efforts, as well as an individual grade assigned by the professor on my assessment of your completion of assignments.
