      Monday
      October
      1,
      1990.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Dr.
      Thompson
      indicated
      in
      an
      interview
      she
      is
     
     
      currently
      a
      full
      professor
      at
      Leman
      College,
      City
     
     
      University,
      New
      York
      City,
      New
      York,
      teaching
     
     
      Home
      Economics
      and
      Education
      guidance.
      Her
     
     
      purpose
      in
      giving
      this
      seminar
      was
      to
      reintroduce
     
    
   
   
    
     
      her
      philisophical
      position
      of
      Home
      Economics.
      She
      —
     
    
   
   
    
     
      stated
      Home
      Economics
      is
      radical
      because
      it
      stands
     
     
      outside
      patriarchal
      institutions.
      A
      central
      point
     
     
      within
      Home
      Economics
      is
      experience.
      We
      operate
     
     
      in
      two
      independent
      but
      socially
      connected
      systems
     
     
      of
      action.
      The
      HESTIAN
      which
      revolves
      around
     
     
      the
      family
      and
      the
      private
      domain
      and_
      the
     
     
      HERMEAN
      which
      is
      the
      public
      patriarchal
      system.
     
     
      She
      puts
      forth
      the
      idea
      the
      Hestian
      is
      the
      primary
     
     
      system
      constructed
      to
      protect
      and
      preserve
      the
     
    

    
     
      ~
      species
      in
      its
      struggle
      for
      survival.
      Men
      and
      women
     
     
      currently
      and
      historically
      operate
      in
      both
      systems
      of
     
     
      action.
      Traditional
      philosophy
      forces
      us
      to
      side-step
     
     
      women
      while
      feminist
      philosophies
      do
      not.
      The
     
     
      Home
      Economics
      Hestian-Hermean
      model
      is
      outside
     
     
      traditional
      thought
      and
      as
      such
      offers
      a
      refreshing
     
     
      feminist
      perspective
      on
      Home
      Economics.

      As
      in
      the

      badminton
      is
      still
      a
      popular
      choice
