Argh! Trying to access Higher Ed

[kickassangel]

For my job, and for myself, it would be very good for me to have an MA, possibly even building towards a PhD.

So, I have been trying to find an online MA course in Gender/Womens Studies within the US.

Given that a significant number of women are kind of tied to the house by kids/job/caring (men too, but often career men have a wife to keep the homefires burning), why can't I find one?

There are a load of universities here where I live and NONE of them offer a campus based MA in this either.

I WANT to do an MA, and I WANT to do one about feminist issues. If I wanted to do a science/business one I could have my pick of courses, but not for this.

I would, btw, consider a course in general social studies, and elect for all the feminist options possible, but that doesn't appear to exist either.

Maybe I should choose a 'man subject' like accounting (I know, I'm stereotyping) then I could do one.

Rant over.

Brandy - that looks perfect!
As some of my job is teaching about media, and how to analyse it & interpret the messages, then the courses about women & the media/disney would relate directly to my job.

Which means my employer may well pay for some of this (have a v good employer too, likely to give me time off for study/papers due etc).

I knew mn would come through.

btw - I hope you're all drinking & enjoying Christmas Eve evening - I have some serious plans for that myself once dd's in bed.

Oh, and Trill - my op wasn't very eloquent. I was just getting frustrated & not explaining myself well. not in the least offended by how you first took it.

Happy Holidays!
