\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The second half of the twentieth century brought a world of change to women\u2019s lives and American ideas about gender. Life<\/i>\u00a0magazine declared it \u201cthe revolution that will affect everybody.\u201d Others likened it to a \u201ctidal wave\u201d or proclaimed the \u201cworld split open\u201d. This\u00a0Fall 2019\u00a0Honors College course\u00a0introduced\u00a0students to historical research and writing by focusing on women and the gender revolution at Purdue University. As we\u00a0moved\u00a0from Baby Boomers to Generation Z, we\u00a0considered\u00a0the social, political, economic, and cultural dynamics of the gender revolution for women students, faculty, and staff at Purdue since the 1940s.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We investigated this still unknown and unwritten history using the holdings of the Purdue University Archives and Special Collections. These include club and organizational records, printed publications such as the Debris<\/i>\u00a0and the\u00a0Purdue Exponent<\/i>, personal collections, photographs and films, administrative files, course catalogs and syllabi, interviews and oral histories, and material culture sources.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Guided by Nancy Gabin, Associate Professor of History, and Katey Watson, the France A. C\u00f3rdova Archivist, students pursued an array of topics. Among them were: the changing character of student life; women\u2019s involvement in protest and political activism; women\u2019s transformative relationship to sports and athletics; the consequences of Title IX for all academic programs; the integration of women as students and as faculty into male-dominated disciplines; the development of gender-focused curricula and research and the advent of programs such as Women\u2019s Studies; and changing gender roles and relations throughout the university. Our research took us back to the 1940s and 1950s and brought us all the way to the present.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
