Looking at other social sciences, there isn't ever really an opportunity to learn about women in the field; to my knowledge, women in economics, psychology, or any other social science aren't ever really given a spotlight. ]]> 2022-04-10 01:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Claireli2003/humanities/wish/2137707968 https://padlet.com/Claireli2003/humanities/wish/2137788532 One thing that stands out in our CID is definitely the cartoony posters of female scientists who created necessities and contributed greatly to our society today. I often times stand there to read every single poster, but I do wish we could learn about them in class too. Einstein and Newton are great, but I'm sure there are other female contributors (such as: Curie and Goodall) worth mentioning and reemphasizing in science.]]> 2022-04-10 05:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Claireli2003/humanities/wish/2137788532 https://padlet.com/Claireli2003/humanities/wish/2148093620 History is a male-dominated field for several factors: women were shut out of education and important social gatherings/political events. Hence, their place in history has always been subservient to that of men. Secondly, most historians are men. This means that women's contributions, as under-reported as they are, can often be stolen by men. This is still happening today. I think one thing that SAS can do is to ensure that there is a healthy dose of women being represented in subjects like APUSH and AP Psychology. However, women's contributions should be recognized, not just because they are women, but because they have made significant advances in their respective fields.]]> 2022-04-19 06:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Claireli2003/humanities/wish/2148093620 https://padlet.com/Claireli2003/humanities/wish/2148110917 I think most classes are pretty good with gender rep. I remember learning about women who broke barriers in classes like AP Psychology, and also women who led the Seneca Fall convention in APUSH.]]> 2022-04-19 06:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/Claireli2003/humanities/wish/2148110917 https://padlet.com/Claireli2003/humanities/wish/2148194099 i think social studies courses (e.g. econ, psych, history) often focus on "important" and "history changing" figures on a grand scale, which happen to be men, which is problematic. it disheartened me when i remembered that we were preparing for dbqs in euro that there were a few "women" prompts that we all didn't quite like and had to use some examples as "tokens". definitely there needs to be normalization of the celebration of female achievements within the humanities.]]> 2022-04-19 07:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/Claireli2003/humanities/wish/2148194099
