a Work in Progress Report on Curriculum Development and Related issues in gender education and research
Teaching with Memories discusses the ways in which one can use the assignment to write the life story of a "foremother" as an educational tool. This book includes descriptions of good practice, short articles about the analysis of specific sources, annotated bibliographies, and a wealth of examples of assignments and questions that will help teachers within or outside institutions of higher education to work with this format. The book offers reflections on the way women's historians can connect research on women's memory with teaching in different European contexts.
The authors address dilemmas, arguments and emotional processes that play a role when historians turn pieces of information about the past into narrative pieces of history. They describe how their work is influenced by their location, their attitudes towards historiographical trends and the sources they work with
