Title: Women's Work: Integrating Women's Studies into a Community College Curriculum
Abstract: Queensborough Community College, a two-year institution within the City University of New York, might not, at first glance, seem like the most hospitable site for teaching and research in Women's Studies. Twice, over the past few decades, Queensborough's faculty carefully considered, and ultimately rejected, the implementation of a formal women's studies concentration. This essay will nevertheless argue that their decision was informed by feminist concerns for student welfare. The study of women was, moreover, promoted with better success at Queensborough because the faculty resisted treating Women's Studies as a discrete discipline.
