And as of this week, PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR, 2011! Teaching women's history is my passion.
After earning my Ph.D from Binghamton's women's history program in 1990,I taught Jewish women's history at Harvard and then joined the women's studies faculty for both George Washington University and Georgetown. Here in D.C., I teach Women and Western Civilization, Gender and Athletics, Women and War, and Introduction to Women's Studies. Yes, that's a workload of three classes each fall and four classes each spring, and top teaching evaluations from the 300-plus students I mentor every year. L'chaim!From local to global: when not on campus lecturing (or cheering at women's athletic events), I'm in D.C. emceeing the Mothertongue open mic for women writers or networking as a scholarly advisor to the National Women's History Museum being built here. Each summer, I score AP U.S. History essays as an Exam Leader for the College Board, then work backstage at the Michigan Women's Music Festival. Year-round, I tour with my one-woman play and archive my field notes from festival culture for the Schlesinger Library's special collection. In June 2012, I'll return as special guest historian for Olivia Cruises, on their Scandinavia and Russia trip. All this and books, too? HOW'S IT ALL DONE? Coffee; vitamins; love.
