thought-provoking; from memories recalled, to imaginative fiction.
We hope you enjoy this, our latest collection.
By ignoring gender issues, historians have failed to understand how
efforts to control women - and women's reactions to these efforts -
have shaped political and social institutions and thus influenced
the course of Russian and Soviet history. These original essays
challenge a host of traditional assumptions by integrating women
into the Russian past. Using recent advances in the study of
gender, the family, class, and the status of women, the authors
examine various roles of Russian women and offer a broad overview
of a vibrant and growing field.
Synthesizing several decades of scholarship by historians East
and West, Barbara Evans Clements traces the major developments in
the history of women in Russia and their impact on the history of
the nation. Sketching lived experiences across the centuries, she
demonstrates the key roles that women played in shaping Russia's
political, economic, social, and cultural development for over a
millennium. The story Clements tells is one of hardship and
endurance, but also one of achievement by women who, for example,
promoted the conversion to Christianity, governed estates, created
great art, rebelled against the government, established charities,
built the tanks that rolled into Berlin in 1945, and flew the
planes that strafed the retreating Wehrmacht. This daunting and
complex history is presented in an engaging survey that integrates
this scholarship into the field of Russian and post-Soviet
history.
Bolshevik Women is a history of the women who joined the Soviet Communist Party before 1921. Drawing on a database of more than five hundred individuals as well as on intensive research into the lives of the most prominent female Bolsheviks, Barbara Clements tells the fascinating story of the female Reds who survived imprisonment, built bombs, led armies into battle, and struggled to survive under Stalin. The study argues that women were important members of the Communist Party during its formative years.
This book, the second in the projected three-volume Forces and
Forms in Doctoral Education Worldwide series sponsored by the
Center for Innovation in Graduate Education (CIRGE) at the
University of Washington, invites readers to listen in as nearly
thirty distinguished scholars and thought leaders confront urgent
questions about doctoral education in a globalizing world: How are
research doctoral education and the research PhD degree evolving in
different national contexts? How do researchers in the early stage
of their careers assess the value of doctoral education? What are
the challenges of using international demographic data from
existing PhD programs to analyze trends in doctoral education? What
can happen when regional issues intersect with the need to evaluate
doctoral education and ensure its quality? Which quality-assurance
model has been gaining favor in PhD education, and what challenges
does it pose? What accounts for conflict between national interests
and international collaboration in doctoral education? Is there
empirical evidence of globalization's impact on doctoral education
and the labor market for PhD graduates? This follow-up to Toward a
Global PhD? (University of Washington Press, 2008), the first
volume in the series, includes case studies illustrating global
trends in the structure, function, and quality frameworks of
doctoral education, and it develops a conceptual framework linking
globalization to trends in doctoral education while showing the
particular history that has led to the convergence of a number of
practices in one or more countries."
