Hello Everyone,
I am new to this listserv but wanted to make
everyone aware of our virtual college. The Catherine of Siena Virtual College is a new online
faith-based educational facility providing a range of internet based online
courses at honours level for students, both female and male, who are interested
in learning from a gender justice perspective.
We aim to do the
following:
- Provide excellence in gender aware inter-disciplinary
learning that is based on the best international scholarship available, a
scholarship renowned for its reliability, intellectual rigour, and flexible,
pastorally orientated approach.
- Broaden access to education for hard-to-reach groups;
tackling educational disadvantage especially in the developing worlds where
access to high quality gender based learning is more
restricted.
- Ensure excellence in enculturation of course content
by making it available in a range of languages and adapted to diverse local
and cultural contexts.
- Develop an informed awareness of the dynamic nature of
the Christian tradition and the theological task of subjecting this tradition
to a process of testing and
renewal.
