What type of Society do we live in?
What makes us who we are?
Are women naturally more caring than men?
Who came to Scotland between the 1830’s and 1930’s?
Are there different rules for men and women?
These are some of the questions discussed in our Introduction to Women’s Studies course.
So if you are looking for a way back into education but don’t know where to start.
Want to study interesting subjects in a friendly, women only environment and still have use of all the facilities at Stow College? Come and join us! Classes start part time at the end of August.
Interested?
We are holding an information session for those who want to find out more and are interested in registering for the course:
Info & Induction session – Wednesday 26 August 2009, 1pm to 3pm
You can enrol on this course until the end of September.
The course offers the chance to move on to further study in Women’s Studies, Social Sciences or Social Care. It could be a route into employment – or just the chance to try something different and meet some new people.
The units this course will cover are:
Sociology- Socialisation
What type of society do we live in? Do you blame the parents—or the media—for the way young people behave? Are there different ‘rules’ for men and women?
Psychology – The Individual in the Social Context
What makes us who we are? Are men and women always going to be different? Are women naturally more caring than men?
History – Immigrants and Exiles
Focusing on the period between the 1830s and the 1930s, we look at who came to Scotland—and who left. Who were the women that fought the Highland Clearances? And what became of them in the New World?
Don’t worry if it’s been a while since you were last in education, the course is designed for women who have few or no formal qualifications, and there is plenty of help with study skills and communications.
No fees if you’re on benefits or a low income – help may also be available with childcare and travel expenses. Study an interesting and unique course in a friendly, supportive environment.
