Courses Taught
CS 357 Retailing: Theory and Practice
(Fall 2009, Summer 2010, Fall 2010, Spring 2011)
Inter-HE 501 Community-University Exchange: South Madison
(Spring 2011).
Brief history of S. Park Street’s Community/University Projects: University research with the
community has been ongoing in various manners for years and the class is building from a base of
existing relationships and projects. We will be furthering previous research in two main areas- GIS
mapping/blight research; and food/health/farmer’s market research and projects. New research
projects should build on previous work and not duplicate past efforts, and these projects should
not be designed for sitting on a shelf. For example, there are numerous projects that center
around food and nutrition programming for youth. We will work with existing partners to
collaboratively design new research projects that provide tangible results that can be used to
leverage resources, provide data to complement and drive policy, and include an action

component that can contribute to a socially and culturally vibrant S. Park St.
CS 501 Contemporary Issues in Philanthropy
(Summer 2007, Summer 2008, Summer 2010)
CS 501 Philanthropy - An International Perspective
(Summer 2003, Summer 2004, Summer 2005)
Received a grant for innovative course development for Summer 2003 to develop a course CS 501
Philanthropy - An International Perspective. This class examined philanthropic giving from an
international perspective. The giving patterns and the role of philanthropic gifts of families of
different cultures and societies (both western and non-western) are central to this study, with
inclusion of women’s contributions.
CS 566 Women and Philanthropy: Theory and Practice
(Summer 2001, Summer 2002)
This course was approved as a permanent course offering May 8, 2002 by the Social Studies
Divisional. I received a grant for innovative course development for Summer 2001 to develop the
course CS 501 Women and Philanthropy: Theory and Practice. This course focused on the
changing roles of women in philanthropic endeavors. Women’s giving has changed from
participation in volunteer activities to the currently more common role of contributing funds to
support the organizations and issues they believe are worthwhile. This change is directly related to
the fact that women now control a large amount of money through earnings and inheritance.
Women are increasingly expected and encouraged to become philanthropists. This course
examined social and cultural values, expectations and gender differences in philanthropic behavior,
as well as the unique characteristics of women donors. It presented students with the social,
historical, psychological, and cultural context of philanthropic behavior. Recent research on
women and gender related to philanthropy in cross-cultural perspective was included; and other
factors - such as motivations, attitudes, and family background - were discussed. Students
considered theories related to philanthropy and altruistic behavior, socialization of women into the
role of philanthropist, and volunteerism. They examined institutions designed to promote
philanthropic causes and discussed the roles of family foundations, nonprofit organizations, and
charitable trusts.
