Hi -- I am sending this request to both the Femisa List and the Ecofem list
even though it is a bit off center for Ecofem. I am a grad student and
currently taking an educational policy class. I am doing a project on Title
IX and how the policy has affected how girls are educated (i.e. allowed to
take either shop or home ec instead of forced into home ec; how it has
affected them in the math and sciences, etc.)
Any suggestions?
Also, I am doing some preliminary research on using environmental education to
build girls' self-esteem in the math and sciences. Any suggestions for this?
Thank you,
Mary Morris,
Ed.D. student, Northern Illinois University

Conference:
Body and Place--
Intersecting Histories of the Body and Its Environment
A Conference Sponsored by
Rutgers University,
The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and the New Jersey
Institute of Technology
You are invited to a workshop conference to explore historical relations
between human bodies and their environments or"nature." Participants will
consider how people's bodies and their surroundings have intermingled and
interacted, mutually defining and influencing each other across different
places and times.
The conference thereby addresses whether the recent turn toward the
history
of the body provides a point of convergence between the history of
medicine
and the life sciences, cultural history and environmental history. To
bolster its intellectual agenda, the conference will aim at scholarly
community-building: bringing together leading representatives of each of
these new directions with other interested scholars to lay groundwork for
continuing contact and interaction among them. Combining local scholarly
contributions with those of prominent invitees, the conference will help
sketch out foci for intellectual and programmatic collaboration among
history faculty with common interests in Newark, New Brunswick, and
elsewhere in the Greater New York area, as well as on a national
level.
The fields of history of medicine and the life sciences as well as
environmental and cultural history have increasingly broached questions
about the historical relationship between human bodies and their
environments. They have done so in strikingly different ways
that reflect not just divergent intellectual projects and commitments but
a limited awareness of one another. The conference aims to bring
historians from these different fields into dialogue with one
another and with other scholars working on parallel topics in the social
sciences and in policy. We hope it will stimulate, enrich, and develop
what have become some of the most exciting lines of inquiry within the
histories of medicine, the life sciences and the environment.
Participants will meet for one late afternoon and two full-day sessions
(Thursday, Friday and Saturday) April 16th through 18th, 1998. Invited
presenters come from the Greater New York area as well as from other parts
of the country.
Public addresses and a roundtable will come on Thursday and Friday; the
following Saturday we will hold our workshop-style discussions (also open
to the public) based on invited works-in-progress. In addition to
discussing
these peoples' on-going work, these discussions will plan for continuing
pursuit of similar lines of inquiry.
