New Program Guidelines EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY DIVISION OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS OUTLINE FOR SUBMITTING PROPOSALS FOR NEW DEGREE PROGRAMS Use this outline to prepare proposals for new programs, including undergraduate majors and minors and graduate majors. Proposals should be submitted in narrative form, organized according to the following outline. Guidelines for submitting such proposals are on the following pages. PROPOSED PROGRAM NAME: QUEER STUDIES DEGREE: REQUESTED START DATE MINOR DEPARTMENT(S)/SCHOOL(S): WOMEN’S AND GENDER STUDIES CONTACT PERSON: ELIZABETH CURRANS FALL 2012 COLLEGE(S): CONTACT PHONE: ARTS AND SCIENCES 487-7707 CONTACT EMAIL: ECURRANS@EMICH.EDU I. Description: A. Goals, Objectives, Student Learning Outcomes 1. The minor in Queer Studies will foster critical and creative thinking about sexual and gender norms, identities, bodies, and experiences in global, national, and local contexts. Through examining and contextualizing debates in the field, students will develop skills that inform approaches to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer history and politics, enabling participation in communities and scholarship. 2. Student Learning Outcomes In pursuing this minor, students will: a. learn about the lives and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people b. identify sexual and gender norms and understand how sexual and gender norms are interwoven in political, social and cultural institutions, discourses, and histories c. explore how people establish, negotiate, and shift sexual and gender identities in relationship to dominant discourses, social movements, and subcultural innovations d. understand how sexual, gendered, racialized, classed, and able-bodied identities inform each other and affect participation in communities, institutions, and movements 3. As a regional comprehensive university, Eastern Michigan University pledges to “maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds.” We also “strive to provide a student-focused learning environment that enhances the lives of students and positively impacts the community.” We have a long history of educating future teachers. In order to effectively serve our community and region, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) students must be able to pursue their own growth and the future educators we train must be able to work effectively with this population. Thus, EMU needs curriculum that will support LGBTQ students while they are enrolled and provide them with information and skills they can use in future endeavors. We also need to provide all students with tools to critically address issues including school bullying, homophobic and transphobic violence, suicide and depression among LGBTQ Miller, New Program Guidelines Sept. 09 New Program Guidelines 2 youth, custody cases, domestic partnerships and same-sex marriage, transgender and transsexual identities, and the history of movements for LGBTQ rights. In line with the commitments of the College of Arts and Sciences, this minor seeks to “prepare [students] for service in local, national, and global communities and organizations, and to instill knowledge of and respect for human diversity in all its many manifestations.” Along with racial, religious, and classed experiences, gender and sexuality are important facets of the diversity of our student body and our local, national, and global societies. Key aspects of this minor include helping student develop the critical and applied tools to effectively engage in their communities. This minor also supports the College of Arts and Sciences mission of promoting “active, collaborative, applied, and innovative teaching” by bringing together faculty from across the college and the university. While the minor will be housed in Women’s and Gender Studies within Arts and Sciences, core and elective courses will be taught in English, Communication, Philosophy, Sociology, History, Biology, and the School of Health and Human Services. The minor represents a collaborative effort among faculty from these disciplines and schools. Our innovative approach emphasizes student understanding of Communities, Movements and Identities; Theory and Culture; and Application and Practice. The Department of Women’s and Gender Studies is committed “to interdisciplinary perspectives that investigate the intersections of gender with race, ethnicity, class and sexual or affectional orientation, in order to ‘embrace the experiences, voices, and concerns of all those who have been excluded from academic tradition.’” Adding the minor in Queer Studies fits within the existing mission of the department and will help WGST better address the needs of sexual and gender minority students. B. Program 1.

Miller, New Program Guidelines Sept. 09 New Program Guidelines 4 D. Projections 1. We project that the first year the minor is offered that 10-15 students will enroll and that in following years an addition 5-10 students will enroll, for a projected total of 30 students in the first three years. 2. Up to 20 sections of WGST 202 are offered during fall and winter semesters, with up to 8 additional sections offered during spring and summer. WGST 305 will be offered each fall semester. Elective courses will be scheduled as follows: CTAC/WGST 265: every semester CTRW 335/WGST 340: every year HLED 130: every year LIT/WGST 445: every year PSY 240: every year SOC/WGST 344: every year SWRK/WGST 462: every year PHIL/WGST 326W: every other year CHL/WGST 353: every other year HIST/WGST 325: every other year BIO/WGST 269: every few years HIST 415: infrequently HLED 460: infrequently II. Justification/Rationale A. LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) Studies is a growing field. As of December 2011, there are currently six majors (Brown, Hobart and William Smith, Ohio State, Miami University (Ohio), University of Chicago, and Wesleyan) and at least 40 colleges and universities offering minors (http://people.ku.edu/~jyounger/lgbtqprogs.html). Many of these programs are part of Women’s and Gender Studies departments. EMU’s Women’s and Gender Studies has a long history. Established in 1975, we offered the first minor in Michigan and were among the first institutions to offer undergraduate and master’s degrees in the US. We are currently the only stand-alone MA program in the state. Adding a minor in Queer Studies will continue our leadership in the region and keep us up to speed with other programs nationally. In 2001, Newsweek ranked EMU number eighteen among LGBT-friendly campuses nationwide (http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/features/college-rankings/2011/gayfriendly.all.html). This ranking was based in large part on our score of 4.5 out of 5 from Campus Pride, a national organization that rates campuses based on a number of criteria including the presence of a resource center, supportive staff and faculty, activities, and curriculum (http://www.campusclimateindex.org/details/premium.aspx?ID=99). One of the key components we are missing is curriculum dedicated to LGBTQ concerns and experiences. In January 2012 Mary Larkin, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resource Center Program Director, conducted a survey of current and prospective students, alumna, faculty Miller, New Program Guidelines Sept. 09 New Program Guidelines 5 and staff regarding a potential minor addressing LGBTQ issues. Out of 85 responses (including 2 prospective students, 53 current students, 25 faculty/staff, and 5 alumna), 40.6% stated they would declare this as their minor, 26.6% stated they might declare this as their minor, and 32.8% stated they would be interested in taking some of the classes, but would not declare. None of the people surveyed indicated that they have no interest. This suggests that there is enthusiasm and support for this minor and the new courses that will be added to the curriculum. This minor complements the Human Sexuality minor that was recently added to the Arts and Sciences curriculum. By focusing specifically on sexual and gender minority populations and the societal norms that treat them as deviant, the Queer Studies minor has a specific focus different from the broad focus on human sexual behavior in the existing minor. B. The University of Michigan offers a minor through their Women’s Studies Department. Their minor only requires five classes and only has one core requirement: either Introduction to LGBTQ Studies or Sexuality in Western Culture. Our minor will provide a greater diversity of courses, and will require students to take one core course in LGBTQ/Queer Studies and one that addresses the broader field of Gender and Sexuality Studies. In this way, our minor will be more comprehensive. Our framing of the curriculum as Queer Studies emphasizes a link between theory and practices that is in line with leaders in the field such as University of Minnesota’s Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies department. In addition, EMU enrolls a greater number of students from Michigan and therefore will better serve our region. C. Letters are attached from Linda Pritchard, Department Head of Women’s and Gender Studies; Mary Larkin, LGBT Resource Center Program Coordinator; Anders Linde-Laursen, Department Head of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminology; Richard Nation, Interim Department Head of History and Philosophy; Marianne Laporte, Department Head of Biology; and Mary Ramsey, Department Head of English. III. Preparedness A. Assistant Professor Elizabeth Currans (WGST) is facilitating this minor. Dr. Currans received her Ph.D. in Religious Studies with a graduate emphasis in Women’s Studies from UC Santa Barbara, where a similar minor was implemented during her tenure as a graduate student. She served as a teaching assistant for the first Introduction to LGBTQ Studies course taught at UC Santa Barbara and has since taught that course herself and has designed additional courses in LGBTQ Studies for UC Santa Barbara, The College of William & Mary, and EMU. Her research also addresses sexuality and gender. She has published articles including “Instituting Heteronormative Belief in the Law: The Case of California’s Proposition 22” and, with Julianne Cordero, “Gender, Sexuality, and the Balance of Power: Continuity and Divergence in Native American Worldviews.” An additional article, “Claiming Deviance and Honoring Community: Creating Resistant Spaces in U.S. Dyke Marches” is scheduled to be published by Feminist Formations in April 2012. A book manuscript exploring gender and sexuality in contemporary public protests is under contract with University of Illinois Press. During fall semester 2011, she convened a seminar through the Faculty Development Center funded by the Provost’s ABBR Program Development Initiative to cultivate additional courses for the minor. She will be teaching Miller, New Program Guidelines Sept. 09 New Program Guidelines 6 WGST 305: Queer Studies and is among the faculty who teach WGST 202: Introduction to Gender and Sexuality Studies. Assistant Professor Amanda Allen (CHL), who will teach CHL/WGST 353: Genders and Sexualities in Literature for Younger Readers, specializes in Cold War era adolescent girl romance novels including the role of the homoerotic gaze. Associate Professor Abby Coykendall (LITR), who will teach some sections of WGST/LITR 445: Sexualities in Literature and Culture, specializes in eighteenth-century literature, cultural studies, sexuality and gender studies, film, the novel and narrative theory, and literary criticism. She is currently finishing a co-edited book collection entitled Heteronormativity and the Eighteenth Century and completing a monograph on eighteenth-century effeminacy entitled Queer Masculinities. Assistant Professor Rob Halpern (CRTW), who will teach CRTW 335/WGST 340: Transgenre, is the author of several books of poetry which explore sexuality among other themes, including Rumored Place, Disaster Suites, Music for Porn, and, with Taylor Brady, Snow Sensitive Skin. His essays addressing sexuality, poetry, and critical theory appear in a range of journals and anthologies. He’s also founding member of the Nonsite Collective, an interdisciplinary collaborative. Assistant Professor Peter Higgins (PHIL), who will teach PHIL/WGST 326W: Philosophy and Sexuality, specialized in contemporary social and political philosophy and feminist theory. In addition to publications in these areas, he has one publication directly related to the philosophical aspects of sexuality: “Sexual Disorientation: Moral Implications of Gender Norms,” in Feminists Contest Politics and Philosophy. Assistant Professor Melissa Jones (LITR), who will teach some sections of WGST/LITR 445: Sexualities in Literature and Culture, teaches classes in Renaissance literature and in Gender and Sexuality Studies. Her current book project, Early Modern Pornographies: For Her Pleasure, examines the ways that women participated in the poetics of early modern erotica, often in “perverse” defiance of Renaissance and contemporary norms of identity and sexual practice. Associate Professor John McCurdy (HIST), who teaches HIST/WGST 325: The History of Sexuality and HIST/WGST 415: Sexual Communities in America, scholarship is in the area of early American gender and sexuality. His monograph Citizen Bachelors: Manhood and the Creation of the United States address connections between sexuality and masculinity and he has written several articles and book reviews in major historical journals on both sexuality and gender. Professor Michael Tew (CTAC), who will teach CTAC/WGST 265: Communicating LGBT Commmunity, has teaching and research interests in the areas of Public Sphere Communication, Queer Studies, and Communication Pedagogy. Dr. Tew’s research in the communication discipline uses rhetorical and critical methods to investigate political communication, LGBT community issues, and public information/influence campaigns. Most faculty teaching required and elective courses are tenured or tenure-track. Miller, New Program Guidelines Sept. 09 New Program Guidelines 7 B. The library has had a designated fund for a number of years through which LGBTQ materials are selected by librarians with a variety of subject specializations. Therefore, the library already has a diverse, multidisciplinary collection of monographs and periodicals that support undergraduate research in the minor, and will continue to build on that collection as resources allow. A number of films have been purchased to support WGST 202, the foundation course in the minor, which may also be of use in some of the upper level cross listed courses. The library currently subscribes to a number of databases that support many of the academic disciplines that will be cross listing courses, and also to Gender Watch, which will be of particular use to students of LGBTQ Studies. Other monographs that support the program are available from libraries across the state with strong gender and sexuality collections, including MSU and Wayne State, through the MelCat service. Access to journals not owned by EMU is available via the library's interlibrary loan service. C. Existing classrooms and other facilities are adequate. D. Many necessary courses already exist. Faculty in other departments and schools have solid credentials and experience. (See A. for more information about faculty.) E. Informal marketing of the new minor has already begun. The LGBT Resource Center has been telling students about the proposed minor and circulated a survey regarding interest (see section II.A. for more information about the survey). Faculty have begun discussing the minor in their classes. Numerous students have emailed or met with Professor Currans about the minor. The Women’s and Gender Studies student staff members have also received numerous questions from students. Women’s and Gender Studies held a reception on March 13th to advertise the minor and the Queer Studies class which will be offered in fall semester 2012. As long as the minor is approved, formal marketing will begin at the end of winter semester with an informational gathering for students, staff and faculty. Professor Currans will also distribute an announcement with an outline of required courses via email to offices and departments on campus. A flyer will also be produced to be distributed in offices all over campus. IV. Assessment/Evaluation Formal departmental-level assessment is being done for the WGST major. The minor will be evaluated through Curriculum Committee review of the courses in relation to Student Learning Outcomes. The Exit Interview for graduating seniors will include specific questions about courses in the minor, with follow-up questions to address preparation of students for work and/or further education. V. Program Costs At this time, the Queer Studies minor will not require any additional resources. Existing faculty will teach courses within their home departments that will be cross-listed with WGST. Adjuncts will not be required to cover new courses. Elizabeth Currans was hired in 2010 for the expressed purpose of facilitating the creation of this minor.
