Women's Studies and the Center for Gender Studies 12:30 thursday, october 17th, 107 cook hall |
| The presentation will
focus on several years of research at the Center for Gender Studies; this
research has been funded, in part, by a two year grant from the Saint
Albans Foundation, by the Radford
University Foundation, with additional technical and material support
from the Department of Psychology.
In these studies, students at Radford University and other educational institutions
were asked about their academic self-views. The findings show a striking
divergence between young women and men in their visions of future possibilities
for themselves. |
 |
| The research findings
to be presented are based to a large extent upon a survey form developed
specifically for the study of students' current and possible academic selves:
The Lips Academic Self-view Survey (L.A.S.S.). An on-line version of the
self-view survey is available and may be accessed by clicking on the the
CGS Projects page
or more directly by clicking on L.A.S.S.
|
|
| With the cooperation of over 50 course instructors, students at Radford University from all of the colleges have participated in this research. The survey has also been given to high school students and to students at other universities, including several in other countries. |
