Men developed empathy, patience, attention to detail and a sense of the value of life – all those qualities now wrongly called “feminine”, because they are necessary to raise children. It reports that, in our very long migratory past, both men and women raised children. It looks at the way humans lived before patriarchy, and before male control of reproduction was codified into “masculine” versus “feminine” roles. So I will choose one neglected book, The Mermaid and the Minotaur by Dorothy Dinnerstein. As Paula Gunn Allen wrote in The Sacred Hoop: “The root of oppression is the loss of memory.” Matrilineal cultures of southern India and parts of Africa teach us the same lesson. Languages such as Cherokee have no gendered pronouns – no “he” and “she” – and the group paradigm is a circle, not a hierarchy. In North America, Native American feminists teach us this wasn’t always so. This is maintained by violence or the threat of violence. When divisions of race, caste or class are added, controlling reproduction – and thus female bodies – becomes even more crucial in order to keep categories separate. They deprive everyone of being fully human. Overall, what has been most helpful is knowing that patriarchy is not some inevitable part of human nature, that male control of reproduction and thus the bodies of women is what creates “masculine” and “feminine” gender roles as the first step in hierarchy, and these roles are new in human history.
The University of Delhi has for long been aware of its role in a larger international academic community, and in pursuance of this, the University has been reaching out to fraternal institutions in different parts of the world for collaborative programmes, research networks, student exchanges and so on.įor more information please visit International Relations - University of Delhi website.There have been many life-saving books, from Louisa May Alcott’s when I was a child, to Alice Walker’s and Robin Morgan’s as a grownup. These forces continue to alter the structure of the university in three ways, which includes changes to the structure of governance, expansion of campus networks, and enhancement of university community partnerships. The desire for education created by a population that continually seeks education, further supports changes within the university. In addition, technology enables professors and students access to a world of information previously available only at high costs and over long periods of time. Universities constantly face pressure to conform to the needs of society, however what makes universities unique is their power to withstand times of change, and time after time, reemerge as the key providers of knowledge.Ĭampuses once geographically bound to one physical place now have the opportunity to expand and network between states, regions, and international locations. They provide an environment that generates ideas, skills, and inventions, all components of knowledge. Universities represent the traditional source of knowledge in society.
One response is the internationalization of the university campus.
Universities worldwide respond to challenges presented by globalization in various ways. Globalization affects many sectors of society.
