Empowerment Through Knowledge & Community
Six Week Online Course Begins October 14, 2010
The phrase "knowledge is power" takes on new meaning as we experience 19th century Disciples of Christ women struggle for educational advancement.
In this online class we'll uncover the influences that drove the creation of new educational institutions for women, compare women's curriculum to those of the male academies, explore the relationships and friendships that developed and examine the blossoming empowerment of Disciples women in their churches and the world.
Class Details
Participants will explore these topics through instruction in scrapbooking, geneology, oral history, researching local history and social media.
Log in to the online classroom every week to get new readings and activities. You do these at your own pace and choose whether or not to share with the rest of the class. Every Thursday evening, the entire class will come together online for instruction and discusssion.
There are no grades and no tests - just the pleasure of learning about this fascinating time in the
life of Disciples of Christ.
Classes are led by Sara Harwell, Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Archivist for the Historical Society.
