From the Co-Chair:
On re-reading
the Co-Chair’s message from last year, I realize that this issue of
Midwest Concerns will be even later than the one Frances Kavenik was apologizing
for last year. So I add my apology to hers, citing overwork and a
family death. We probably can all relate to the overwork aspect of
our lives.
We have scheduled a Rock and Roll band to play 50s, 60s, 70s rock for our
Friday night entertainment 7:00 p.m., Hassler 115. The Stratophonics’
piano player, Dennis Chandler, played with all the early major 1950s
groups and will give us a history of rock along with their rock music.
MaryAnn Janosik, from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Education Department,
will precede the band with a presentation on women’s contribution
to rock , as well as rock’s contribution to women, especially in both
freeing up and problematizing sexuality.
Midwest WCML need members, we need membership renewals, and we need membership
involvement. Our strength as women in academia is not only in our
deeds, but in our unified numbers. The faculty of eight University
of Wisconsin campuses have voted in favor of collective bargaining
and even doctors are talking about the desirability of unionization these
day. Please update your membership in the Women’s Caucus and
attend our business/social/networking meetings as we plan for the future
of the Women’s Caucus, including forums and events for the Minneapolis
2002 M/MLA .
In the
spirit of women’s solidarity and collaboration, I have created an
extensive list of members’ interests and addresses that can be pulled
out from the middle of this issue of CONCERNS.

¨ Women’s Caucus for the Modern
Languages/Midwest Business Meeting II, Sat., 7:15-8:15 a.m., Hope
118
To encourage attendance at these business and social meetings, we are offering
wine at the Friday night meeting, since we realize members have to leave
the general reception for our meeting, and a continental breakfast at the
so very early Saturday meeting. We want these meetings to provide
support and networking, as well as planning for the future of this regional
Women’s Caucus.

DISTINGUISHED PAPER AWARD – the new format.
The Midwest Women’s Caucus for the Modern Languages will present a
$100 award to this year’s distinguished conference paper on women’s

her/his session chair.
A new format has been developed for this award to encourage more M/MLA participants
to submit their papers. Papers can be submitted after the November
M/MLA until December 1 so that participants will be able to refine their
papers after presentation. Anyone who submits a paper on a women’s
topic for an M/MLA session is eligible.

DISTINGUISHED PAPER AWARD 2001: Louise Detweiler
“Peopling the Text with Figures of Women: Alicia Partnoy’s The
Little School”
Presented in a session title “A Rhetorical Question?: Discursive Ruptures
in Women’s Testimonials”
Detweiler’s description of her paper: “My paper explores
the ways in which Argentine author and concentration camp survivor Alicia
Partnoy negotiates between issues of sex and gender and the difficult arena
of political oppression within her country during The Dirty War (1976-1983).
This analysis is relevant to women’s issues in that it illustrates
the need for context specific readings of female-authored narratives from
‘developing’ nations. My reading aspires to honor the
request of global feminist movements that ‘First World’ feminists
do their homework when engaging texts from another socioeconomic and cultural
perspective. Additionally, my piece highlights the impressive social
justice movement of the Mothers of the May Plaza, who were nominated for
the Nobel Peace prize in 1980.”
Summary:
Alice Partnoy’s The Little School: Tales of Disappearance & Survival
in Argentina is a collection of tales which describe Partnoy’s three
and a
half month imprisonment in an Argentine concentration camp in 1977.
Detweiler takes to task those critics who claim that Partnoy does not deal
with issues of sex and gender in The Little School, does not, in fact, people
her text with women. Detweiler argues that, in fact, Partnoy makes
clear that the abuse of women, since it is male-based oppression, is quite
different than the abuse of men. It is much more sexually oriented,
even though torture itself, an act that attempts reductionism, is unconscionable
no matter which sex it is enacted upon. Partnoy’s apparent hesitancy
to point at gendered oppression is belied by the inclusion of her mother’s
sketches containing strong narrative qualities about women’s oppressive
experience in Argentina.
“The depictions of synecdochic boot, maternal grief, and captive women
clearly function to denounce the masculine backbone of a repressive state.”

Session Summary:
Service learning in the Women’s Studies Community
– a women’s caucus session at M/MLA 2001
This dynamic, engaged discussion resulted in the decision to continue it
in 2001, opening it to any M/MLA participants from any discipline since
so many people and institutions are currently interested in service learning.

What departments might incorporate service learning?
Teacher education
program, cultural diversity requirement, Spanish, social studies, nursing,
marketing, biology, economics, WAS, English, political science, architecture,
as a general education requirement, freshman seminar, etc.
Reasons for doing service work:
1. private school requirements of such a component
since their mission (especially Catholic colleges) is to interact with the
community; thus, their BA often requires an internship (re the model of
the New Urban University to apply learning outside of the classroom)
2. cultural diversity requirement courses
3. service work required but disconnected
from classes
4. social service classes
5. internship program for English majors (think
of Marquette as the model of the Engaged University)
6. at Portland State service learning is part of
everything
Examples of service work
Literacy in English, writing oral histories, help an agency put out a newsletter,
Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, soup kitchens or homeless shelters,
Women’s Shelters, etc. A specific localized example is an urban
renewal project at East St. Louis taken up by three universities in the
area.
PROBLEMS:
1. Coordinating community, projects, students, and learning
2. Finding the community connections
3. Plugging in volunteers where the community already
needs them
3. Doing a useful service work project in only one semester
4. Getting students to think beyond their own cultural boundaries;
they cannot go back to their old H.S. to do service work)
5. Finding good accessible readings that will inspire students
6. Finding useful documentary films
7. Deciding if the project should include typical volunteer work or not.
8. Making the service project academically based and conceptualizing it
appropriately
9. Because of the immense time commitment, rewarding the instructors: can
they be paid or get the equivalency of a publication, or is it a voluntary
commitment?
A PRIMARY NEED is for coordinators, perhaps ideally a full-time volunteer
coordinator. It is clear that even when students design their own
projects they need a fully engaged coordinator.
QUESTIONS to Consider:
¨ What is the place of volunteer
work in a capitalist society?
¨ How does one define literacy and
how does illiteracy play out in a capitalist society?
A How-to Example from Jeannie Ludlow, Bowling Green State U.
1. Pick an issue
2. Have students develop an annotated bibliography (4 sources
for each of the
4-6 students within a group)
3. The group then writes a group proposal which must be OK’d by
the instructor.
4. Grading: the project would be 1/3 of class grade
- students
must complete the project
- each
student completes a two page report, as well as an assessment
of the group
- students can be
fired from the group for not doing their
share which would result in an
F
5. Final step – an expo of the various projects open to the
campus community
A suggestion to implement student choices: invite volunteers from Domestic
Violence Shelters, take Back the Night Marches, food pantries, etc. to talk
to students
RESOURCES:
1. websites for bibliographies
– AAHE - American
Association of Higher Education
CIC –
Council for Independent Colleges
2. Sample Documentaries:
Fast Food Women
The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter
Step
by Step
Out at Work (the Crackerbarrel situation)
Choosing Children (lesbians raising children)
Union Maids
(PBS channels in
your area may have these kinds of films.)
