The East Stroudsburg University\u2019s Provost\u2019s Colloquium Series continues with a presentation by Stephanie McCall, Ed.D., assistant professor of professional & secondary education. The presentation \u201cAffective Entanglements of Gender and Curriculum in the Education of Girls in Liberia\u201d will take place in Beers Lecture Hall on Wednesday November 14, 2018 at 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
Dr. McCall will share details and photos of her recent trip to Liberia to explore an all-girls school. McCall will share what she learned about the curriculum of gender, girlhood, and female success in one all-girls\u2019 school.<\/p>\n
What does \u201cempowerment\u201d mean for so many different girls and the possibilities and impossibilities of their futures? What role does school knowledge and curriculum play in these understandings? These questions explicitly connect to McCall\u2019s scholarship about gender, girls\u2019 success and curriculum theorizing in all-girls schools, broadly. <\/p>\n
McCall will articulate some purposes and possibilities for a research partnership with this all-girls school as well as describe her complex tremors of hope and her trepidations about western educational research in a post-conflict context in Africa.<\/p>\n
