Written for everyone interested in women's and gender history,
History matters reaffirms the importance to feminist theory and
activism of long-term historical perspectives. Judith M. Bennett
takes as her central problem the growing chasm between feminism and
history which, although closely allied in the 1970s, have now moved
away from one another. Seeking to narrow this gap, Bennett proposes
that feminist historians turn their attention to the intellectual
challenges posed by the persistence of patriarchy. She posits a
'patriarchal equilibrium' whereby, despite many changes in women's
experiences over past centuries, women's status vis-a-vis men has
remained remarkably unchanged. Bennett argues that the theoretical
challenge posed by this 'patriarchal equilibrium' will be best met
by long-term historical perspectives that reach back well before
the modern era. A new manifesto, History matters engages
forthrightly with the challenges faced by feminist historians
today. It argues for the radical potential of a history that is
focused on feminist issues, aware of the distant past, attentive to
continuities over time, and alert to the workings of patriarchal
power. -- .
This work is intended as a guide for those wishing to draw on
research techniques in order to inform the planning and undertaking
of multi-method evaluation studies of educational initiatives.
While it is possible to undertake evaluation without reference to
research, the formal evaluation of education initiatives is
enhanced by the use of research approaches to gather information on
the nature of the developments that have taken place and/or merit
and worth of the initiatives. In a climate where the question,
"Does it work?" is being asked with increasing frequency, this book
will consider ways of designing multi-method evaluation studies to
help answer this question.
There is increasingly wide agreement among teachers, researchers,
inspectors, advisers and policy-makers that both teaching and
research will benefit from being brought closer together. But how
can this be achieved? Hard-pressed practitioners cannot be expected
to review a constant flow of conference papers, journals and other
publications, even if such items were accessibly written. This
unique book synthesizes relevant research findings for the
professional practitioner and highlights their implications for the
quality of teaching and learning. Whether you are a teacher looking
to enhance your practice or a researcher looking for a concise
overview of or a researcher looking for a concise overview of the
literature, this book will be a valuable acquisition.
