FEMINIST STUDIO WORKSHOP
Second Year Program

The purpose of the FSW Second Year Program is for women in their second year to make their feminism manifest in the world.  This involves developing professional skills within a feminist context.  Each woman will produce a project of her own design.  The specifics of this program are outlined below.  This program in its entirety would be elective to second year women.  Some women might elect instead to participate fully in the first year program.  Participation in this program does not exclude the possibility of second year women being partially involved in the first year program.

Components:
Work Time 10 - 30 hours/week
Time you set aside in your schedule weekly for actual work on your project.

Work Meeting 3 hours/week
A time for critique, worksharing, goal setting and support.  Every woman in the group will have ten minutes weekly in which to report on her progress, set specific goals for the week and get specific support.  Two women a week will receive 45 minutes in-depth time to go into their project, get critique, etc.  Each woman will define for herself the course and form of support/ feedback she gets.  This session will be facilitated by one staff faculty member.

CR 2 hours/week
This group is for second year women only.  The group would determine its own weekly topics.  CR is recommended and optional.

Buddies  at least 1 hour/week
Each second year woman will have a buddy.  Buddies will select each other.  The function of buddies is to support each other specifically on each woman's project.  Particular exercizes and assignments for buddies to do in supporting each other will be developed and assigned by core staff facilitating Work Meetings.  Time in Work Meeting will be set aside to deal with anything that comes up in buddy relationships.
