• Annual Research Series and Events

Every year, the Department of Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies hosts and co-sponsors research-backed initiatives and special events that enhance classroom learning for students and the Dickinson community.   Below are descriptions of our annual series.

Faculty and Staff Research Lunch Series (FRL) 

Held monthly during the academic school year, this presentation series showcases faculty and staff research in any discipline that is grounded in intersectional feminist scholarship or is otherwise connected to the field of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS). Co-sponsored with the Women’s and Gender Resource Center, it provides an opportunity beyond the classroom for the Dickinson community to engage in dialogue and discussion about how diverse forms of WGSS scholarship illuminate the world around us. Recent lunches have featured research from fields such as: Africana & American Studies; Art History; Economics; Education; Environmental Studies; English & Creative Writing; Judaic & Middle Eastern Studies; Political Science; Psychology; and WGSS.   

Typically occurring during common hour (noon-1 pm), lunch is provided. All Dickinson students, staff and faculty are invited to attend. No RSVP currently required. 

Details and updates about this year’s series are available here.

Interested in participating?   

Faculty from all departments and administrators engaged in scholarly activity are invited to respond to the May call for self-nominations or email the WGSS department ( [email protected] ) and WGRC ( [email protected]). Please include a brief description of the topic. 

Research on Women, Gender and Sexuality by Students Symposium (ROWGS) 

Held annually in April, this symposium showcases the wide range of undergraduate WGSS research being done across the disciplines by Dickinson students. Students from any department who are engaged in WGSS-related research are invited early in the spring semester to submit descriptions of their project. The research often emerges from a senior seminar, an independent study, or a joint faculty/student initiative. Work originating in an elective, a writing in the discipline requirement, or even a first year seminar is also welcomed and regularly featured.  

The call for proposal (CFP) announcement is announced in February, and proposals are typically due in mid-March. When released, you can access directions and submission information here. Please contact the WGSS department ( [email protected] ) with any questions.  

Running for well over thirty years, ROWGS is co-sponsored by the Women’s and Gender Resource Center. It is made possible by the generous support of the John F. Rogers Memorial Fund, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and the President’s Office.  

2025 ROWGS is scheduled for Thursday, April 24th from 4:30-6:30 pm, followed by a dinner for the presenters, their supervising faculty, and guests.  

Information regarding last year’s ROWGS can be found here.  

Annual Central Pennsylvania Consortium (CPC) WGSS Programming 

The Central Pennsylvania Consortium colleges of Dickinson, Franklin & Marshall, and Gettysburg co- plan an annual WGSS-themed conference, workshop or event. This collaboration allows faculty, students and staff from across the three colleges to share research, develop new expertise, and collectively innovate. Indeed, the Dickinson WGSS department was born from a 1987 CPC workshop. In recent years, the three CPC WGSS departments have convened a themed annual conference for undergraduates and faculty to share their cross-departmental WGSS scholarship and learn from a renowned, cutting-edge keynote speaker in the field. Programming has also included workshops collaboratively developing faculty pedagogical, curricular and administrative skills, such as the 2024-2025 workshop on writing for the popular press.   

The three colleges rotate hosting the CPC event. More information about current and past WGSS-focused CPC programming, including RSVP and proposal information, is available here.  

On Saturday, September 28 th 2024 , Dickinson will be hosting a CPC-sponsored full-day workshop on Writing for the Popular Press. Facilitated by editors from Ms. magazine , the foremost and oldest feminist publication, the workshop is free and features two tracks.  Morning sessions are open to any CPC college student, faculty or staff member interested in translating their research for the popular press. No prior preparation is required. Participants in the afternoon sessions will have the opportunity to workshop their individual pitches or articles with the editors, which they will submit ahead of time after reviewing a series of webinars. Developmental editing of pitches/articles is available by RVSP-only. Space is limited and priority will be assigned to faculty, students who are developing pitches as part of a classroom assignment, and select faculty-or-director nominated students. More information, sign-up details, and RSVP are available here.  

Annual WGSS Field Trip, Experiential Learning and Co-Sponsorships 

Aided by the generous support of a donation by a trustee and alumna family, the WGSS department brings students, faculty and staff together for in-person events that help build community alongside exposure to new ideas and places. For the past decade we have organized a fall field trip for all WGSS students and select WGSS classes that helps them better understand how geography and space shapes access to resources, justice and knowledge. Over the past ten years, students have: embarked on walking tours exploring women’s rights, immigrant or QLGBT histories of cities; learned from staff at BIPOC-focused QLGBT community resource centers; visited museums with feminist and social-justice themed art exhibits; discussed entrepreneurship with feminist bookstore owners; and attended WGSS-themed plays like The Color Purple and Fun Home. Undergraduates also have attended the National Women’s Studies Association conference when it is hosted in Baltimore, learning more about cutting-edge scholarship and field development.  

The WGSS department is delighted to co-sponsor talks and events brought by departments and offices across the college. Please contact the WGSS department ( [email protected] ) f or more information.

The creative writing minor emphasizes small workshop classes in fiction and poetry, offered at three levels and culminating in a creative project in the senior year. Courses are also taught in memoir, screenwriting and creative nonfiction. Limited to 15 participants, these workshops focus on finding and developing the strengths of each student's writing while providing instruction in technique. Peer critique and readings in contemporary literature—often involving visits to campus by accomplished writers of our time—are at the heart of the program.

The minor requires six courses and is compatible with any major. Read more.

Students also have opportunities to give readings, edit and contribute to the campus literary journal, The Dickinson Review, and enter the annual Academy of American Poets student poetry contest. The program sponsors visiting writers who attend workshops, give readings and meet with students. The Belfer Reading Series brings prominent writers for campus readings. The Stellfox Visiting Scholars and Writers Program provides special opportunities to meet distinguished contemporary authors who spend several days in residence at the college.

You can join the creative writing club, intern at The Literary Review , join the editorial staff of FDU’s student-run magazine, Iron Horse , go to WAMFest —the words and music festival, meet authors, agents, and publishers from New York City. You can major, minor, double major, or just explore. You can do a five-year BA/MFA combination program . You can come back for your low-residency MFA. Educators who are writers can earn their Master’s Degree in Creative Writing and Literature with our fully Online Program.

Are you dedicated to words? As part of the School of the Arts, Creative Writing at FDU offers a conservatory-style education—rigorous and focused. Classes are small, discussion- or workshop-based at every level, and taught by acclaimed working writers who specialize in a variety of genres.

The Life of a Writer at FDU

The Creative Writing major at Fairleigh Dickinson is among the most progressive and exciting creative writing programs in the country. As soon as you arrive on campus, you are treated like a writer and are welcomed into our vital community of writers and artists. As part of the School of the Arts, we expand creative writing well beyond its traditional boundaries. We celebrate creative writing in all aspects of our culture—literature, music, film, comedy, graphic novels … wherever it’s found—in order to help our students succeed in bringing their writing to the world. We encourage collaboration with the other arts disciplines at FDU, and many of our creative writing majors also minor in film, theatre, or visual arts. If you want to write and act in your own play or film, write and direct, or create a graphic novel from drawing board to final product, we will help you to make it happen.

Fairleigh Dickinson is very close to New York City — geographically and spiritually. Our creative writing majors come from all over the country to work closely with our nationally recognized faculty, all of whom have published books with significant publishers and all of whom have strong connections to the national writing and publishing world. Our classes are small, intimate, and informal, which creates a safe and inspiring environment to develop and practice your writing. And from there, you can just hop on a train into the city and its beautiful madness.

If the path you have in mind includes time abroad, you can join the majority of our students who spend a semester at our beautiful campus in Wroxton, England, housed in a 12th Century abbey (think Hogwart’s) where you can be a part of a community that goes back to Shakespeare and beyond.

Because we stress the practical aspects of the life of a writer, all of our majors take a capstone course, “Professional Practices: Literary Publishing,” so you can be fully prepared for all of the possibilities open to you with a degree in Creative Writing. Sometime in your first two years, you will choose to specialize in one or, sometimes, two genres, leading you to a year-long Senior Writing Project, when you will complete a significant, professional manuscript. It’s demanding but also rewarding, as evidenced by just a couple of examples of our recent graduates: Dave Wielgosz (BA 2014) went from graduation to dream job as Assistant Editor at DC Comics in Los Angeles. Katarina Tonks, (BA 2016) had her fiction included in a Wattpad anthology, published by Simon and Schuster. Amanda Ramirez (BA 2015/MFA 2017) began at an entry-level position at Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers while she was still finishing her MFA, and she is now an Associate Editor.

We encourage you to take internships to prepare you better for the world after FDU. Our students have held internships at The New York Times and Poets and Writers , at major publishing houses, literary agencies, film production companies, and at our own TLR (The Literary Review) . Right on campus, you can gain valuable practical experience by working on Ironhorse , the college’s literary and arts magazine devoted to student writing, or on the student newspaper, The Pillar . You can participate in our Creative Writing Club and help to facilitate on-campus events such as student Open Mic nights, or volunteer to help out with our ongoing reading series, which brings some of the best writers in the country to read from their work and discuss the writing life.

Academic Technology at Dickinson

Guidance for Faculty Decisions on Generative Artificial Intelligence Use by Students (Fall 2024)

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) models (that generate text, music, code, and images) pose challenges in the classroom. They also present new opportunities for teachers and learners. Because faculty have different opinions about the utility of GAIs, there is no single policy that works for every instructor of every course. However, as you finalize your syllabi, and plan assignments for your courses, there are a few things to keep in mind regarding your GAI decisions and how you communicate them.

Resources available to you:

• The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship and the Multilingual Writing Center are available to assist faculty with implementing best practices for the writing process. These practices not only enhance the quality of writing and learning but also reduce opportunities for academic dishonesty. Please contact Noreen Lape or John Katunich if you’d like to work with them in this area.
• The Academic Technology Department is prepared to assist faculty in integrating AI into their assignments or courses. Examples may include AI for simulations, feedback, brainstorming, or explanations of text and code. Please contact your Academic Technology department liaison or James D’Annibale directly if you’d like help. As with any assignment, we’ll work with you to discuss learning goals, student training, and provide support to you and the students throughout the process.

Guidance for deciding on GAI use, writing syllabus statements and communication with your students:

• Why does this assignment make sense for this course?
• What are specific learning objectives for this assignment?
• How might students use AI tools while working on this assignment?
• How might AI undercut the goals of this assignment? How could you mitigate this?
• How might AI enhance the assignment? Where would students need help figuring that out?
• Focus on the process. How could you make the assignment more meaningful for students or support them more in the work?
• Keep in mind that some students may use GAI as a learning aid and in ways that are not dishonest or in violation of the academic integrity policy. For example, they can use GAI as a subject tutor. It is recommended that faculty who are concerned about students incorporating GAI into their learning/writing/research processes should contact Academic Technology staff who can train students to use GAI honestly and effectively.
• Please contact Academic Technology, CTLS, or the Multilingual Writing Center if you’d like to sit down and talk through this decision or to learn about GAI capabilities.
• The scale at the bottom of this document created by Leon Furze presents different levels of use of GAI within a course and can be useful for considering different scenarios and providing explanations of what ought and ought not to occur at each level. You can read about the scale here: The AI Assessment Scale: Version 2 .
• There are other scales you can find online that may also help you think through this process, such as the Gen AI Intent and Orientation Model . Use whatever works for you. The scale is meant as a guide for consideration. You should not feel limited to choosing a level listed.
• Consider discussing with students the educational benefits and ethical considerations of your choices regarding GAI in your assignments. Some classes include their students in the process of formulating a policy on GAI as well.
• If using a scale like Furze’s below when making your decisions, you can also share the scale with your students, much as you would a grading rubric, to help them understand expectations for uses and limitations of GAI within their assignment.
• Mention the caveat that different professors at Dickinson College will have different policies.

Very important note: Unfortunately, there are no AI Checkers that are reliable. In fact, “AI Checkers” are notoriously unreliable. The company that created ChatGPT took their checker down because they realized it was not able to perform adequately. John Katunich, director of the Writing Program, can help faculty design assignments and work with students in a way that would lessen opportunities for GAI-related academic dishonesty.

AI Use scale:

AI is new and constantly changing. If you haven’t tried it yet, now is a great time to do it. Below are some resources from Academic Technology that you might find useful. Please also be sure to read the Academic Technology blog which has several posts related to GAI.

Cynthia Griffin Wolff, acclaimed biographer and longtime MIT professor, dies at 87

Press contact :.

Previous image Next image

Cynthia Griffin Wolff, a noted scholar of American literature, passed away on July 25. She was 87.

Wolff joined the humanities faculty at MIT in 1980 and was named the Class of 1922 Professor of Humanities in 1985. She taught in the Literature Section, and later moved to the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies. Her expertise was in the exploration of 19th and 20th century female American writers. She retired from MIT in 2003.

Wolff was born in Saint Louis, Missouri, on Aug. 20, 1934. She was a graduate of Radcliffe College, attended Harvard Medical School, and in 1965 received her PhD in English at Harvard University. Before her arrival at MIT, she was a tenured professor of English and American literature at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Wolff wrote two major literary biographies. “A Feast of Words: The Triumph of Edith Wharton” was published in 1977. That was followed by the 1986 biography “Emily Dickinson.” Wolff worked for several years to unearth new and original primary sources before even starting the process of writing a first draft. She sought to analyze her subject’s literary oeuvre with a complete understanding of the authors’ historical and personal contexts. She also edited numerous books that brought long-overdue attention to American women writers.

Several years before her retirement, Wolff began composing a third literary biography on writer Willa Cather. Wolff continued work after her retirement but found herself unable to bring it to fruition and eventually put it aside.

“A devoted teacher and an inspired scholar, Cynthia Griffin Wolff cemented her literary legacy worldwide with her highly influential biographies of Edith Wharton and Emily Dickinson,” says Kenneth Manning, the Thomas Meloy Professor of Rhetoric (programs in Writing and Humanistic Studies and Science, Technology, and Society) at MIT who worked with Wolff during her tenure. “I was anticipating the same creative force in her biographical research on Willa Cather.”

Following her retirement, Wolff spent much of her time in South Dennis, Massachusetts, in an early 19th century Cape Colonial she restored. She later moved into the Orchard Cove senior community in Canton, Massachusetts.

Wolff is survived by her sons Patrick and Tobias; Patrick’s wife, Diana; and two grandchildren, Samuel and Athena.

As a creative writing major or minor, you'll have the unique opportunity to work as an academic apprentice. Facilitate class discussions, assist teams with group work, answer questions, provide input for class activities, and assignments and teach part of a class session. Or tutor other students outside of the English department by becoming a Center for Writing Excellence writing assistant. These experiences provide a chance for you to build skills in leadership, interpersonal communication, and problem-solving, while also enhancing your writing abilities.

Endless undergraduate research opportunities are available to students at UWEC. Some of the exciting projects taken on by students and faculty in English involve conducting research and interviewing research subjects. Your work could lead to presentations at local and national research conferences, providing you with even more learning and networking opportunities.

Joining a student organization at UWEC builds your skill set — and your resume. You may mentor current and potential students, organize events, or give back to the community. You'll also meet students who, like you, are interested in English and all that it offers. A popular student org for creative writing majors is NOTA, or None of the Above, which is a campus literary magazine — entirely student-run — that publishes a biannual collection of the top student submissions in the categories of art, poetry, and prose.

Writing in a new and different environment can lead to some pretty incredible work. Find inspiration while studying abroad in places like England, France, Italy, Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, South Korea, South Africa, or Japan. Or join faculty on a cultural immersion program to renowned places right here in the U.S. These enriching academic experiences are exactly the kind of high-impact practices that set UW-Eau Claire apart from other institutions, making UWEC an excellent place to pursue your creative writing degree. 

Blugold Stories

I had no idea how much I would be welcomed and how much all of my professors genuinely care about me. They are so willing to just have a chat or I can come to their office hours. It's just something that is so nice and I didn't know I was going to have that.

Some people might stay away from English classes because they think they're bad writers. I would say no one is a bad writer. Writing, like art, is very subjective, and I promise you there is someone out there who will share your story and see the light in your writing. If you're interested in expressing yourself or just have feelings you need to work through, creative writing is something that you should try.
