Female-led protests on the Lower East Side. This workshop explores some pivotal and dramatic moments in the history of working women in the New York/New Jersey area in the early 1900s.

Presenter: Christina Stern, Instructor of History 20. 12 – 1 pm Room 2102 I'm Not A Feminist But...(Roundtable) Is the notion of feminism a mere “relic” of 1960s and 1970s American culture? What is feminism and who gets to define it? Has feminism been trivialized, co-opted, and/or vilified? Is a “primer” on feminism relevant and, perhaps, necessary for RCC’s young women and men? Please join us for a roundtable discussion as we grapple with the “meaning” and relevance of feminism on today’s college campuses. Light refreshments will be available. Presenter: Nancy Pietroforte, Professor of Sociology; Christina Stern, Instructor of History 10

Workshop Number Time & Place Workshop Description Thursday January 13 th 21. 2 10 – 11 am Room 2102 Cultivate Curiosity and Engagement With Inquiry-based Writing According to Tony Wagner's "Global Achievement Gap:", “Curiosity, imagination and other habits of mind [are] for future generations, what the ‘Three R’s’ were for previous generations. They are the ‘new basic skills’ for work, learning, and citizenship in the 21st century.” In this workshop, you explore strategies that reinforce critical thinking along with a more flexible perspective typical of creative thinking. The goal: to give your students--- in any discipline--- additional pathways to success in school and the larger world. Presenter: Diane Rosen, Adjunct Instructor of English 22. 11 - 12 n Room 2102 "Writing to Learn" Across the Curriculum E.M. Forster famously asked, "How do I know what I think until I see what I say?" In this workshop, we will explore how the process of writing promotes critical thinking and helps our students to refine their ideas about the subject matter of any course. We will discuss specific strategies for how to integrate short writing assignments into a wide variety of classrooms--from lecture halls to science labs--in order to promote student retention of course concepts. Presenter: Katherine Lynch, Writing Center Director 11
