- Synopsis
- Women on the Role of Public Higher Education presents fourteen auto-ethnographic essays by women who have received doctoral degrees in the social sciences from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Their powerful narratives, critical perspectives on the academy, commitment to feminist pedagogy, and development of new forms of research methods offer a nuanced portrayal of the importance of public higher education in people's lives, and for society as a whole. Their personalreflections on the impact public higher education has had in developing a critical political awareness, building a commitment to teaching, and in aiding self-discovery should be seen as evidence for what can happen when higher education is made public.
