Women's and Gender History

Women's and Gender History at University of North Texas gives students the opportunity to investigate changing conditions for women and analyze the role of gender in interpreting history. Specialists in this area of study integrate gender into many forms of history to consider the relationships among gender, other identity factors, belief systems, culture, economics, law, and politics.

The following professors assist undergraduates who want training in women's history and the analysis of gender in history. Prospective graduate students should contact faculty about how training they want in women's and gender history would fit with the department's chronological and topical areas of study :

 

Clark Pomerleau, Ph.D.

 I specialize in women's, gender, and sexuality history. After a bachelor degree in history at University of Washington, I earned a master degree in early European history at the University of Arizona. There my major doctoral fields were U.S. history and European history with a minor field in women's studies. My teaching concentrates on twentieth-century U.S. but spans post-Civil War U.S. and comparisons among the U.S., Europe, and colonized areas. My current book project, "Breaking Wave: California Feminists, National Social Justice, and a Rising Right, 1975-1987," argues that California is paradigmatic of the Left-Right struggles shaping post-World War II cultural politics. I revise thirty years of scholarship on the second wave by shifting focus from East Coast-based overviews of mainly white leaders to the important role of diverse grassroots California women. My work has broader implications for understanding the place of gender in U.S. society, relationships between personal beliefs and structural conditions, connections between the local and national levels, and a continuing national ideological divide. I have worked with undergraduate and graduate students on a range of gender and sexuality topics including a thesis reevaluating how online cultural production intersects with gender and sexuality, initial gender and sexuality study for a thesis on how history is deployed when American women who commit infanticide are labeled "modern Medeas," and senior papers on the ramifications of the Million Man March, masculinity and the American Indian Movement, debate over late-term abortion, a reevaluation of gendered and religious stereotypes about anti-abortion activists, protest against neoliberalism, Vietnam war protest, how communes affected social values, and debate over euthanasia.
