Description

Ruth Dickstein, University of Arizona University Libraries, discusses the politics becoming a department on campus and the important role that the Woman's Studies Advisory Council (WOSAC) played. She mentions that Women's Studies, as a program versus a department, would not guarantee the hiring of faculty who specialized in Women's Studies. Thus, Women's Studies needed to become a department. Dickstein sat on several committees and was actively involved in Woman's Studies Advisory Council.
