d) Theses Examined for Other Departments at Carleton

During my years at Carleton, I sat on numerous thesis boards for the Institute of Canadian Studies; the Department of Sociology/Anthropology; the Department of English.

Administrative Responsibilities at Carleton In 1971-1972, when I was affiliated with St. Patrick's College, I taught the course 'Women and Society, 1700 to the Present' for the first time. This was Carleton's first credit course in the history of women and in women's studies, and one of the first such courses to be taught at the university level in Canada. In subsequent years I planned and developed several other courses in the history of women and in women's studies, both by myself and in collaboration with other faculty members. These included the St. Patrick’s College courses “Interdisciplinary 04.388 “Women: Selected topics in literature and social history”, offered in 1973-4 and “Interdisciplinary 04.288: Introduction to Women’s Studies” first offered in 1974-5. In 1974-1975, I was the chief author and most active supporter of a proposal advocating the establishment of an Interfaculty Committee on Women's Studies. The proposal was sponsored by me and several colleagues, and was accepted by the Senate Academic Planning Committee in 1975. This committee served as the structural framework for Women's Studies at Carleton until 1987. I served as Chair of the Committee from 1976-1979 and again, in 1980-1981. During my terms as Chair, I played a major role in designing the developing structure of the Committee and in encouraging its growth. From 1981 until 1987, I served on the Committee each year, either as a member of its executive or as a member-at-large. In the summer of1987, in recognition of the fact that Women's Studies had outgrown its structural framework, an Institute of Women's Studies was created at Carleton. During 1986-1987, as a member of the Interfaculty

Committee on Women's Studies executive, I played a major part in drafting the proposal for the new Institute. 1987: Chair, search committee for a Director of the new Institute of Women's Studies. Member, Steering Committee and the Committee of Management of the Institute of Women's Studies, 1987-1990. Since 1991, member of the Committee of Management of the Institute, now the Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's Studies. In 1988, together with a graduate student research assistant, I prepared the first Guide to Women's Studies and Gender Studies at Carleton University. In 1982, I represented the Interfaculty Committee on Women's Studies on the Committee to Advise the President on the Appointment of a Coordinator of the Status of Women at Carleton University. I served as Chairperson of the Committee during its search for the first Co-ordinator. In 1985, I again represented the Interfaculty Committee on Women's Studies on the President's Search Committee for a second Co-ordinator of the Status of Women.
