USSO 286J Women's Education at CWRU: The Flora Stone Mather Oral History Project
Tuesday/Thursday 1:15 - 2:30pm
Women's Education at CWRU- Instructor: Gladys Haddad, Professor of American Studies
This seminar will explore the history of women's education in America, from colonial times to the present. Much of the discussion will focus on the emergence of coordinate colleges, including the College for Women (later renamed Flora Stone Mather College) at Western Reserve University. The seminar will also give students an opportunity to contribute to the historical literature by conducting interviews with Flora Stone Mather alumnae. Students will be instructed in the basic principles and techniques of oral history and engage in the creation of primary source materials -- tapes and transcriptions -- essential for historical documentation. They will then reflect on the relationship between the stories they have collected and the present-day educational experiences of women at Case Western Reserve University. |
