Life Resources
On March 16, 2011, in my Women and Computers class, I was assigned a Life Resources assignment. For this assignment I focused on locating resources related to my anticipated career following graduation at St. Cloud State University. The most interesting thing that I found through this assignment was the National Women's Studies Association website. I had no idea that this website even existed and I have spent hour upon hour looking at it. It is very neat in that there is an entire section of the website dedicated to students. I am currently looking for Graduate Schools that have Women's/Gender Studies programs and this website provides information on the top programs in the United States. It also provides links to job and internship opportunities for students. In addition to job and internship postings for students there are also postings for professionals. The website also provides tons of information about Women's Studies in general. Overall, I think the National Women's Studies Association website is one that I will visit quite frequently throughout this and the next chapter of my life.
International Feminist Websites
In my Women and Computers class, on March 16, 2011, we looked at numerous International Feminist Websites. We looked at websites from Europe and the Global South. Of the eight websites that I looked at I found two to be especially interesting: Women's Net of South Africa and Visualizing Women's Rights in the Arab World.
Women's Net of South Africa is a feminist organization that works to advance gender equality and justice in South Africa. They do this through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). I found the website to be interesting in that it provides feminist organizations with a lot of options to help in setting up or improving. There are numerous projects, services, and publications available for feminists to utilize in setting up the technological aspects of their organizations. In addition to these helpful features there are also numerous digital stories available. Digital stories are interesting in that they provide a unique way of learning and sharing information. Overall, I think that Women's Net is a great resource for any new or existing feminist organizations.
