Women in Higher Education, 1850-1970 : International Perspectives Paperback / softback
Edited by E. Lisa Panayotidis, Paul Stortz
Part of the Routledge Research in Gender and History series
Paperback / softback
Description
This edited collection illustrates the way in which women’s experiences of academe could be both contextually diverse but historically and culturally similar.
It looks at both the micro (individual women and universities) and macro-level (comparative analyses among regions and countries) within regional, national, trans-national, and international contexts. The contributors integrally advance knowledge about the university in history by exploring the intersections of the lived experiences of women students and professors, practices of co-education, and intellectual and academic cultures.
They also raise important questions about the complementary and multidirectional flow and exchange of academic knowledge and information among gender groups across programmes, disciplines, and universities. Historical inquiry and interpretation serve as efficacious ways with which to understand contemporary events and discourses in higher education, and more broadly in community and society.
This book will provide important historical contexts for current debates about the numerical dominance and significance of women in higher education, and the tensions embedded in the gendering of specific academic programs and disciplines, and university policies, missions, and mandates.
