That's nice. Now people (particularly the "juniors") who may want to ask a question may wonder: "by asking this one question will someone assume I am being lazy?" As if there isn't enough to worry about. I don't recall anyone asking for her entire syllabus to be put together for her. Asking questions on a listserv that should be collegial shouldn't in any way be "dangerous."

I recommend you do your own homework, starting with the texts you have read which made the penny drop for you, and then guide others through the path you took to understand these concepts, at least for starters. Then you google terms and look for more recent material since presumably the texts that turned you on may not be the latest. But if they are any good their bibliographies will make reference to the seminal texts, which you would want your students to be exposed to.
Crimey, since when do young faculty depend on everybody else to do their syllabi?
I'm sorry, I'm sure you didn't intend an answer from the likes of me.
The risks one takes, using listservs.
Terrible, isn't it?

Subject: introductory essay on feminist theory/philosophy recommendations

Hello,

I was wondering if any of you have had success providing lower-level feminist theory students with an introductory piece on "what is feminism/feminist theory/philosophy?" and if so, what piece you might recommend.

I teach a wide range of majors in an upper-level Feminist Theory undergraduate course at a state university. My students tend to be motivated but do not necessarily possess any background in philosophy or theory. 

Thanks in advance,

Talia
