This book will support students to think critically about what they know, how to demonstrate what they know, and how to prepare for life both personally and professionally after the degree. Transforming Scholarship is a practical guide for students interested in women's and gender studies that targets advanced undergraduates who have a firm connection to the discipline. This book is ideal for women's and gender capstone courses, and for those who have finished their degree and need a resource to assist in conceptualizing the answers to the question "What's next?" This second edition of Transforming Scholarship focuses on areas that undergraduates might want integrate into their women's and gender studies education: study abroad, civic engagement projects, internships, independent studies, and honors theses. It includes exercises to help flesh out talents, passions, and skills, and how to link them to employment, information about the diversity of employment opportunities (and further professional training) available, and a plan to help prepare for graduation. It also delves into how to live a feminist life after graduation, including activism after college, building and sustaining feminist communities, and feminist parenting. The authors have also added new "Point of View" boxes throughout the book, where scholars focus on contemporary issues and deepen a student's understanding of the organizations and individuals fighting to end sexist oppression." -- Publisher's description."
