The origins and development of the University of Toronto Graduate Collaborative Program in Women's Studies are discussed. After almost ten years of consultation, lobbying, planning, and writing reports and proposals, the School of Graduate Studies at the university was convinced to opt for a collaborative model for a program in women's studies. In 1994-95 the program completed its first year of operation, offering graduate degrees at all levels in the humanities, social sciences, and life sciences. As of July 1998, the program had 60 students enrolled in 20 departments. Three problems with the program remain to solved: There is no avenue for entry to the graduate program for undergraduate women's studies specialists because they do not have the disciplinary background to enter the collaborative program; there is a lack of structural/institutional synergy; and predominant economic interests imbue traditional definitions of academic success with the values and standards of the market. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
