Internship

This course will provide students working in women’s and gender studies areas with experience in nongovernmental organizations such as the United Nations or other policyrelated institutions. Prior to beginning the internship a representative of the organization will determine with the Director of the Women’s and Gender Studies MA Program the tasks to be carried out. (These may not be clerical in nature but should involve substantial work related to the mission of the organization.) Students will devote approximately 140 hours (10 hours a week times 14 weeks) during the academic year or over a summer. Studentswill have a faculty adviser, who will meet regularly with them to monitor their progress. Students will keep a log of their activities and will prepare a final report documenting the work carried out.
