Committee on the Status of Women

Workshops sponsored by the CSW

Women, Teaching, and Authority

• Topic: Women, Teaching, and Authority
• Friday, April 18, 2008, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
• ACM office in Chicago

Dr. Enora Brown, Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Policy Studies and Research in the School of Education at DePaul University, will facilitate the workshop. Brown has been in the field of education for the past 35 years, as a teacher in K-12, as a consultant and trainer for preschool teachers, as a researcher and program developer in social service related programs, and as a scholar and teacher in higher education.

The goal of the workshop will be to empower participants to return to their campuses with an understanding of the effect of gender on teaching, and to provide strategies for dealing with the issues facing women in the college classroom.

The CSW anticipates that Dr. Brown will:

• Provide a packet of readings for participants;
• Provide a general overview of the state of the current research on the topic of women and authority when teaching college students, including classroom dynamics and one-on-one interactions, such as advising or research supervision; and
• Run a variety of interactive exercises/sessions to demonstrate best practices.

One aim of the event will be to share resources produced for and through the workshop with other colleagues on our campuses.

Negotiating Workshop

The Committee on the Status of Women (CSW) sponsored a Negotiating Workshop, conducted by Lisa Amoroso (Management, Roosevelt University), at the ACM office in Chicago on February 4, 2006.

One representative from each ACM college attended the workshop to discuss the negotiating component of all communication and how to best negotiate, and to practice negotiating skills.

Dr. Amoroso taught at Beloit College, Northwestern University and Loyola University prior to joining Roosevelt University in 2005.

Women’s Leadership Development Seminar

The CSW designed a Women's Leadership Development Seminar for faculty and academic administrators at ACM colleges. The seminar was held on April 8-10, 2005, hosted by Carleton and St. Olaf Colleges in Northfield, MN.
