Re: Research on representations of men in baby magazines
Thanks to Andi Stepnick and Sister Edith Bogue for responding to my
question about the representations of men in baby magazines. Here are their
suggestions, for others who might be interested:
<<I haven't seen any research on representation outside of an old
film on men's images (called Stale Roles and Tight Buns!).>>
<<Tangentially relevant is the research that's been done of late on
marketing to and for kids - Juliet Schor's book Born to Buy and Susan
Linn's Consuming Kids come to mind.>>

Secondary major
We are trying to find a way to incorporate a concentration on peace and Justice into our curriculum. We considered helping students do this via a double major, a concentration, or a minor. Our provost told us that he had heard of a college that allows a "secondary major" to do this sort of thing. It is not a full major yet it is more than a minor or concentration. It can be linked with a number of majors. Do any of your institutions have something like this? John W. Eby
