Graduate Student Websites

Web Sites for Pat Huckle's WS 582:
Science & Technology in Women's Lives

As a final project, students are asked to produce a web site relevant to the course. As you can see from the list below, their interests range widely. After an initial period of uncertainty and apprehension about the technology, most students report the assignment was challenging and fun, and gave them a chance to try to reach a wider audience with their feminist concerns. This assignment has worked well from my point of view, although it helps a lot to have some good technical support from the staff in our computer lab.

Women Athletes and Eating Disorders

Technology and Female Sexuality: History of the Vibrator

Intersex Surgery: Implications for Women

Women, Technology, and the Military

Women Environmentalists and the "Third World"

Math, Science, & Technology, Girls Can Do Anything!
