Sourcebooks, Inc Yale Needs Women: How the First Group of Girls
Book SynopsisWINNER OF THE 2020 CONNECTICUT BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION AND NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS FOR BOOK CLUBS IN 2021 BY BOOKBROWSE"Perkins' richly detailed narrative is a reminder that gender equity has never come easily, but instead if borne from the exertions of those who precede us."—Nathalia Holt, New York Times bestselling author of Rise of the Rocket GirlsIf Yale was going to keep its standing as one of the top two or three colleges in the nation, the availability of women was an amenity it could no longer do without.In the winter of 1969, from big cities to small towns, young women across the country sent in applications to Yale University for the first time. The Ivy League institution dedicated to graduating "one thousand male leaders" each year had finally decided to open its doors to the nation's top female students. The landmark decision was a huge step forward for women's equality in education.Or was it?The experience the first undergraduate women found when they stepped onto Yale's imposing campus was not the same one their male peers enjoyed. Isolated from one another, singled out as oddities and sexual objects, and barred from many of the privileges an elite education was supposed to offer, many of the first girls found themselves immersed in an overwhelmingly male culture they were unprepared to face. Yale Needs Women is the story of how these young women fought against the backward-leaning traditions of a centuries-old institution and created the opportunities that would carry them into the future. Anne Gardiner Perkins's unflinching account of a group of young women striving for change is an inspiring story of strength, resilience, and courage that continues to resonate today."Yes, Yale needed women, but it didn't really want them... Anne Gardiner Perkins tells how these young women met the challenge with courage and tenacity and forever changed Yale and its chauvinistic motto of graduating 1,000 male leaders every year."—Lynn Povich, author of The Good Girls Revolt

West Virginia University Press An American Phoenix: A History of Storer College
Book SynopsisIn the first book-length study of Storer College, Dawne Raines Burke tells the story of the historically black institution from its Reconstruction origins to its demise in 1955. Established by Northern Baptists in the abolitionist flashpoint of Harpers Ferry, Storer was the first college open to African Americans in West Virginia, and it played a central role in regional and national history. In addition to educating generations of students of all races, genders, and creeds, Storer served as the second meeting place (and the first on U.S. soil) for the Niagara Movement, a precursor to the NAACP.An American Phoenix provides a comprehensive and extensively illustrated history of this historically black college, bringing to life not just the institution but many of the individuals who taught or were educated there. It fills a significant gap in our knowledge of African American history and the struggle for rights in West Virginia and the wider world.

Rutgers University Press Mad River, Marjorie Rowland, and the Quest for
Book SynopsisMad River, Marjorie Rowland, and the Quest for LGBTQ Teachers’ Rights addresses an important legal case that set the stage for today’s LGBTQ civil rights–a case that almost no one has heard of. Marjorie Rowland v. Mad River School District involves an Ohio guidance counselor fired in 1974 for being bisexual. Rowland’s case made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the justices declined to consider it. In a spectacular published dissent, Justice Brennan laid out arguments for why the First and Fourteenth Amendments apply to bisexuals, gays, and lesbians. That dissent has been the foundation for LGBTQ civil rights advances since. In the first in-depth treatment of this foundational legal case, authors Margaret A. Nash and Karen L. Graves tell the story of that case and of Marjorie Rowland, the pioneer who fought for employment rights for LGBTQ educators and who paid a heavy price for that fight. It brings the story of LGBTQ educators’ rights to the present, including commentary on Bostock v Clayton County, the 2020 Supreme Court case that struck down employment discrimination against LGBT workers. Trade Review"Margaret Nash and Karen Graves have produced the first full history of a true American heroine. Thanks to brave educators like Marjorie Rowland, LGBTQ teachers now enjoy vastly more freedoms than they did in earlier eras. But the fight is hardly over, as this brilliant little book reminds us. We have indeed come a long way, in the struggle for real human equality in our schools. And we also have much farther to go." -- Jonathan Zimmerman * author of The Amateur Hour: A History of College Teaching in America * "In this superb combination of narrative and analytical history, Nash and Graves engage us first with the dramatic, arduous story of Marjorie Rowland and her fight for equitable treatment. They then analyze how principles drawn from Rowland’s case have informed litigation surrounding LGBTQ educators over time, concluding with potent reflections on current prospects. Covering vast legal ground in accessible language, this book will stand as an important marker of the history of rights for LGBTQ school professionals." -- Linda Eisenmann * author of Higher Education for Women in Postwar America, 1945-1965 *"Margaret Nash and Karen Graves have produced the first full history of a true American heroine.

The University Press of Kentucky Lessons from the Foothills
Book SynopsisOn Christmas Eve in 1859, sixty-five prominent armed white men rode into the small Kentucky town of Berea and forced the townspeople to close its integrated one-room schoolhouse. The mob perceived the school as a threat to white supremacy and the racial order. Abolitionist John Gregg Fee established the school for the expressed purpose of providing education to anyone eager to learn, regardless of their racea notion that horrified those convinced of the sanctity of white supremacy. The mob succeeded in evicting thirty-six community members, including Fee''s family, but Fee and the others returned to Berea in 1864 and reestablished the school as Berea Collegean institution committed to providing education to Appalachia''s most vulnerable populations.In _Lessons from the Foothills_, Gretchen Dykstra profiles modern Berea College, considered the moral compass of the commonwealth, and its rich and beloved history. This book is the first to focus solely on the principles and practices that

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Das Paradies ist ein Hörsaal für die Seelen :
Book SynopsisReligionskulturen der Antike und des Mittelalters sind eng mit dem Bildungsthema verknüpft - in ganz unterschiedlicher Weise. Wie hängen Bildung und Religion zusammen, welche Bildungsgüter und -wege gelten aus religiöser Sicht als erstrebenswert (oder auch als gefährlich), und wer sind die Akteure in diesem Feld? Diesen und verwandten Fragen widmet sich dieser interdisziplinäre Sammelband mit besonderem Augenmerk auf den institutionellen Zusammenhängen, in denen religiöse Bildung vermittelt und reflektiert wurde. Neben methodologischen Überlegungen werden Fallstudien vom klassischen Griechenland über das spätantike Judentum und Christentum bis zum lateinischen Mittelalter und zum klassischen Islam vorgestellt. Die Beiträge bieten damit ein facettenreiches Bild verschiedener Konstellationen von Bildung und Religion, das zu weiteren vergleichenden Forschungen einlädt.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Schriftenreihe der Historischen Kommission bei
Book SynopsisBald nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs nehmen die deutschen Hochschulen Zug um Zug wieder ihren Betrieb auf. Damit einher geht ein Prozess der Selbstanalyse und Restrukturierung, den die Hochschulen öffentlich betreiben und der sich u.a. in den Reden ihrer Rektoren dokumentiert. Aus einer starken Krisenwahrnehmung der Gegenwart heraus blicken die Rektoren in Vergangenheit und Zukunft. Die Rolle von Hochschule und Wissenschaft innerhalb der Gesellschaft liegt dabei jeweils im Fokus ihres Interesses. So diskutieren sie sowohl die GrÃ"nde, weshalb es zu einer Erscheinung wie dem Nationalsozialismus Ã"berhaupt kommen konnte und welchen Anteil die Hochschule daran hatte, wie auch die Vorstellungen, wie das Deutschland der Zukunft aussehen soll und welche Rolle der Hochschule darin zufallen solle.Der gesamte Diskurs hat zugleich einen stark legitimatorischen Charakter.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Allgemein bildende Schulen in der Bundesrepublik
Book SynopsisAs is well known, the German system of general education is a segmented one: After leaving the compulsory primary school, pupils (i.e. their parents) have to opt for one branch of secondary schooling among three main alternatives: Hauptschule (upper grades of elementary school, non-selective), Realschule (middle school, modestly selective), Gymnasium (high school, highly selective). The data handbook "General education in the Federal Republic von Germany 1949-2010" presents detailed statistical information (time series, tables and graphs) about the great transformation which took place since the late 1960s: sharply rising enrollments in high schools (and middle schools) accompanied by similarly declining enrollments in elementary schools. In particular, topics dealt with include: institutional history, participation in schooling (enrollments by institutions, by grades, by gender, by percentages of age cohorts, etc.), graduates (by leaving certificates and institutions).

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Auf der Suche nach der neuen Universität: Die
Book SynopsisAls Reformuniversitäten sollten Konstanz und Bielefeld in den 1960er Jahren neue Konzepte erproben, Reformen an den bereits bestehenden Hochschulen vorbereiten und eine Differenzierung des Hochschulsystems einleiten. Für diese Prestigeprojekte der damaligen Hochschul- und Landespolitik engagierten sich institutionelle Akteure im bundesdeutschen Wissenschaftssystem, wie der Wissenschaftsrat, die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft oder der Verband Deutscher Studentenschaften, aber auch prominente Wissenschaftler wie Ralf Dahrendorf in Konstanz und Helmut Schelsky in Bielefeld. Die Entwicklung von Universitäten neuen Typs schloss an intensive Diskussionen an, die seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs über die Reformbedürftigkeit der Hochschulen geführt wurden mit Bezug auf neuere internationale Entwicklungen ebenso wie auf Traditionen der deutschen Universitäten. Auf dem Prüfstand standen zunächst alle Kernfunktionen in Bildung, Ausbildung und Forschung. Bei der Entwicklung der Universitäten Konstanz und Bielefeld konzentrierten sich die beteiligten Wissenschaftler schließlich jedoch auf die Forschungsfunktion. Die Idee für neue Colleges konnte sich hingegen nicht durchsetzen, obwohl die neuen Universitäten als Campus-Universitäten gebaut wurden. Noch während Konstanz und Bielefeld aufgebaut wurden, veränderte sich das hochschulpolitische Umfeld allerdings sehr dynamisch. Die Reformuniversitäten verloren ihre herausragende Position in der Hochschulpolitik rasch, doch die Idee der Reform durch Neugründung erlebte in den 1990er Jahren eine Renaissance, ebenso wie der Wunsch nach einer Differenzierung des Hochschulsystems.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Ein Jude spricht Jiddisch: Jiddisch-Lehrbücher in
Book Synopsis1886 erschien das erste moderne Lehrbuch der jiddischen Sprache. Der Form nach traditionell leitete es einen bahnbrechenden Aufstieg des Jiddischen zur Bildungssprache ein. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt begann man erstmals, die Muttersprache der überwiegenden Mehrheit der Juden im östlichen Europa als eine vollwertige Kultursprache wahrzunehmen, und genau in diesem Prozess spielte die muttersprachliche Bildung eine entscheidende Rolle. Doch über ihre Geschichte ist bisher wenig bekannt. Evita Wiecki erläutert anhand von Jiddisch-Lehrbüchern, welche Formen die aufblühende jiddische Bildung annahm, welche Funktion ihr zugeschrieben wurde und mit welchen Schwierigkeiten ihre Befürworter zu kämpfen hatten. Deutlich wird dabei auch, wie herausfordernd es für sprachliche Minderheiten ist, ohne staatliche und institutionalisierte Unterstützung das Fortbestehen von Sprach- und Kulturkenntnissen zu sichern. Die Studie umspannt ein knappes Jahrhundert (18861964), das sich durch signifikante Wendepunkte der jüdischen Geschichte bis hin zum absoluten Bruch durch den Holocaust auszeichnet. Dabei blieb die jiddische Sprache für die Menschen ein maßgeblicher Identifikationsfaktor trotz grundverschiedener Bedingungen in Politik und Gesellschaft gab es zwischen den jeweiligen Phasen ungeahnte Kontinuitäten. So steckt in der Geschichte des Jiddisch-Lehrbuchs eine Kulturgeschichte des Jiddischen in Polen.
