Letter from the Director<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n
\"Dr.

Dr. Elizabeth Agnew, Director of Women’s and Gender Studies Program<\/p><\/div>\n

Fall is a time of reflection and anticipation as we move toward the end of a calendar year and launch a new academic year. In Women\u2019s and Gender Studies both terms are resonant in Fall 2022. Looking back, it was fifty years ago that the first interdisciplinary course in \u201cwomen\u2019s studies\u201d was offered. That year\u20141972\u2014was a significant moment in American cultural history. Shirley Chisholm became the first woman and African American to seek the nomination for president of the United States from a major political party. The Supreme Court was finalizing arguments in the Roe v. Wade case. And Aretha Franklin recorded \u201cAmazing Grace,\u201d the best-selling gospel album of all time. At Ball State, a group of faculty launched the first women\u2019s studies course in 1972. In so doing, they planted a seed for the minor (approved in 1980) and for an expanded program that now has 30 students pursuing a major and 100 students pursuing a minor, and draws on the talents of 30 faculty at the university.<\/p>\n

\"Sharon

Sharon H. Seager, 1938-2022<\/p><\/div>\n

A leading member of the initial Woman\u2019s Studies Committee (and the chair for three years) was the late emerita history professor, Sharon H. Seager. A specialist in 19th<\/sup> century American history and American women\u2019s history, Dr. Seager was a co-creator and teacher of the augural women\u2019s studies course and later served as the Acting Program Director. In 2021, following her thirty-eight-year career at Ball State, she established an endowment to reward excellence in student research focusing on the history of women, gender and sexuality. A fine teacher and scholar, Sharon was a true Renaissance woman. She was a talented youth basketball player, equestrian, and bowler; later, she was a member of the National Organization for Women, the League of Women Voters, and Planned Parenthood; and in her retirement, she delighted in choral singing and became a talented potter. Throughout her life, she was an avid reader and enjoyed hiking and travel.<\/p>\n

Dr. Seager\u2019s vision for new women\u2019s studies courses and programs responsive to the times in which she lived remains a hallmark of the Women\u2019s and Gender Studies program. In 2022, as we look ahead, we anticipate officially joining with the program in African American Studies to form a new department in the College of Sciences and Humanities. We look forward to sharing more news about this development in future newsletters.<\/p>\n
