1 Bien que cet article soit publicé en anglais, il nous semble qu'écrit en français le mot « Québec » s'harmonise mieux au propos de notre texte qui souligne certains fossés entre les anglophones et les francophones et le statut de minoritaires de ces derniers au sein de notre discipline. Ce serait là, il nous semble, une façon de réconcilier les «deux solitudes » de mieux refléter l'identityé de chaque groupe linguistique.

This is not to say that the split between Québec and English Canada is specific to the field “Women and Politics”; we are conscious that it also characterizes the other specializations of political science.

7 “Women and Politics” bridges between the narrowly behaviourist preoccupation of the women in politics field and the ever-more-expansive feminist political science field. The latter is not only, or always, about women or by women. It embraces a methodology that takes account of gender and other axes of oppression so as to produce objectively “good” social science.

Because only 18 out of 47 department chairs answered the survey upon which the 1997 Report is based, we are unable to report accurately how many women faculty there are, or their rank. The absence of such information provides additional evidence of gatekeeping in the discipline. See also Marie- Thérèse Séguin, “La venue des femmes en science politique: une histoire d'immigrantes en trois temps,” in Beaudry, Maillé et Olivier, eds., Les avenues de la science politique, 73–77.

10 The newly created Women's Programme under the leadership of Sue Findlay invited Jill Vickers to address the women in politics question. She developed and taught one of the first Women and Politics courses at Carleton University in 1976. It is important to learn more about when other courses first began to be taught, by whom and under what circumstances.

11 The development of the field in English-language pedagogy can readily be seen by contrasting two editions of Course Outlines on Women and Politics, compiled and edited by Janice Newton, and published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press in 1993 and 1998. The contrast makes clear the extent to which the field has evolved and grown in the later 1990s.

12 If these descriptions provide some evidence indicating the limited impact of feminism on the discipline, a more qualitative interpretation sheds light on additional evidence that otherwise is not shown quantitatively. We refer here to allegations about a “chilly climate” that have existed in recent years in some universities in Canada and Québec. (For a general overview of this idea, see The Chilly Collective, ed., Breaking Anonymity: The Chilly Climate for Women Faculty [Waterloo: Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 1995])Google Scholar. It is more difficult now to argue that recent controversies in some university departments of political science in Canada are entirely unrelated, if only in their “growing pains.” Concerning the University of British Columbia, see Marchak, Patricia M., Racism, Sexism and the University: The Political Science Affair at the University of British Columbia (Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 1996)Google Scholar. In 1998, the UBC department received a presidential apology. Even so, the recent report written on the status of women in our discipline by Lamoureux, Trimble and Koene (1997) gives a great deal of attention to the qualified reception of women and feminism in our departments. For example, of the 135 female members of the Canadian Political Science Association that responded to the questionnaire, 64 per cent said that they never took courses on women or gender during their university training and 45 per cent of respondents believe that they had been subjected to gender discrimination when they were students. This discrimination ranged from sexist remarks directed at the women to sexual harassment, including a devaluing of the “Women and Politics” theme, and difficulties obtaining scholarships or paid assistantships. See Lamoureux, Trimble and Koene, Report on the Status of Women in the Discipline, 77–83.

At the moment, we lack precise quantitative measures of the changes in the numbers of women over time; all we have is implied comparisons between the two Status of Women reports. Of course, these developments in Québec and Canada need to be followed, as in the United States.

15 Prior to becoming a member of parliament, Pauline Jewett taught at Queen's University in the late 1940s, and then at Carleton University from 1955 to 1974, serving as chair of the Department of Political Science in 1960–1961. Dr. R. E. McKown served as head of the Department of Political Science at the University of Alberta from 1975 to 1982. Additional information should be sought about women “pioneers” in departments of political science.

19 In addition, Caroline Andrew wrote a number of conference papers in the early 1980s that commented on the state of feminist scholarship in the discipline. These include “Contribution du féminisme au développement des connaissances en science politique,” in Beaudry, Maillé and Olivier, eds., Les avenues de la science politique, 19–24, and “Politics, Power and Women: The Impact of Feminism on Political Science,”presented at a conference given at the University of Toronto,November 29, 1984Google Scholar, in the series organized by the Women's Studies Programme during 1984“1985 as part of the 100th anniversary of the admission of women to the University of Toronto. Sandra Burt presented some of the earliest conference papers in what later became the Women and Politics field at the annual meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association.

21 Even so, feminism provides no single vision and no entirely unified critique of political science. For this reason, it is more accurate to refer to feminist critiques of the discipline. This said, feminism as an approach to the study of political science is in the singular to refer to its methodological commitment to take account of women and to provide a woman-centred analysis in which the broad aim is to end the gender oppression of women by social change. Political analysis, then, has a feminist purpose insofar as it contributes to this end.

The fact that the original address was published in English and the updated account is in French invites further dialogue between feminist linguistic communities.
