Ageing in the history of education
Insider and Outsider, Community and Conflict: Elizabeth Cecil Wilson’s transnational experiences as a Progressive American woman educator
This essay takes a feminist educational biographical approach to the transnational life and work of the American educator Elizabeth Cecil Wilson (1913-1994). Central to this interpretation is the way in which Wilson’s life exemplifies the concept of “internal exile” as a result of her transnational movements in China, Korea, and the United States. Wilson’s early experiences with internationalism, all-women’s education and American progressive edu…
Unprecedented Times: A Historiography of Pandemics in North American Education
This essay offers a review of the ways that North American historians have approached the history of epidemics in education to date and it identifies a few key historiographical trends and research questions raised by American and Canadian work. The history of epidemics in education is located at the intersection of three vibrant fields of study: the history of science and medicine, the history of education, and the history of disability. The ess…
Old teachers: A feminist research agenda
This essay proposes a feminist research agenda on the history of women teachers’ experiences in the latter stages of their career and life. Drawing on extant histories of white women elementary and secondary teachers in the largely Anglo, western world (centred on the United States, Canada, England, Australia and Ireland), the essay explores the concept of age as a category of analysis, particularly for historians of women, by identifying three w…
What Happened to Your College Town: The Changing Relationship of Higher Education and College Towns, 1940–2000
This essay examines the history of what is commonly called the town-gown relationship in American college towns in the six decades after the Second World War. A time of considerable expansion of higher education enrollment and function, the period also marks an increasing detachment of higher education institutions from their local communities. Once closely tied by university offices that advised the bulk of their students in off-campus housing, …

Cultural revitalization as a restorative process to combat racial and cultural trauma and promote living well
This study suggests that reclaiming one's culture and language has an impact on restoring wellness among this tribal nation. Cultural rejuvenation of the Myaamiaki may represent a shift in the way healthy living can be conceptualized within tribal communities. The authors stress the importance of using community knowledge in conjunction with global knowledge to develop community-specific and community-implemented interventions for health promotio…

Nostalgia and educational history: An American image
This essay examines the way in which nostalgia informs the 1953 painting of a school setting by the popular American artist Norman Rockwell. “The Girl with Black Eye”, the cover image of the American popular magazine The Saturday Evening Post on 23 May 1953, draws on traditional American iconography of the disciplining of students in the principal’s office. Yet this scene that was typically experienced as one of fear and authority is presented wi…
Dorothy's Wars: School leadership during the Birmingham Blitz
This essay examines the school leadership experiences of an infant school head teacher in Birmingham, England, during the Second World War. Drawing on the letters of Dorothy Walker, the essay offers insights into school leadership wartime deprivations. The impact of an international war on the home front was not head teacher Dorothy Walker's only challenge. As the youngest and one of the few women head teachers in Birmingham, Dorothy Walker strug…
Niila Myaamia (I Am Miami): Identity and Retention of Miami Tribe College Students
Some Native American college students, like many college students, engage in a complex process of identity formation that involves discovering their culture. This ongoing identity formation process impacts various aspects of their lives including academic achievement and sense of belonging. This study examined the process of one cohort of Native American college students, Myaamia Tribe (Miami Nation), as they matriculated through a predominantly …
Those Who Can't, Teach: The Disabling History of American Educators
This essay is an exploratory history of American educators as viewed through the lens of disability studies. By this I mean that I am looking at the history of school teachers with disability as the primary marker of social relations, in much the same way that I and others have looked at the history of education through the primary lens of race, gender, ethnicity, age, religion, and sexuality. Looking at the history of teachers through the analyt…

The Short, Radical Life of Pearl McGill
This essay draws on the surviving letters of an early 20th century Iowa woman who moved rapidly from participation in a local factory strike, to activism in some of the most radical political movements of the day, to career as a rural school teacher, to victim of domestic violence. Pearl McGill's life is both typical of the struggles and tragedies of working women and political activists, and is exceptional in its drama. Also exceptional is that …

Presidential Address: Go to the Principal's Office: Toward a Social History of the School Principal in North America
Of the many organizational changes that took place in public education in North America at the turn of the last century, few had greater impact on the school than the development of the principal. The creation of the principal's office revolutionized the internal organization of the school from a group of students supervised by one teacher to a collection of teachers managed by one administrator. In its very conception, the appointment of a schoo…

Being Margaret Haley, Chicago, 1903
This paper uses the experience of urban life as both a documentary and an impressionist source in the writing of a biography. Drawing on a biography of Margaret Haley, the turn-of-the-century leader of the Chicago Teachers' Federation, and the author's autobiographical reflections, the city is used not only as a resource that provides historical data, but also as an influence on the lives of urban women. The subject's relationship with the city i…
