Discovering New Trajectories in History: A 19th-Century Woman's Practice of Adult Education
Gina R. M. Armer
American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE) 2024 Conference (5th, Reno, NV, Oct 28-Nov 1, 2024)
A new trajectory recently embraced by society involves efforts to redress omissions in the past to historical contributions made by marginalized communities -- such as women and people of color. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the contribution of women scholars to the field of adult education by focusing on one particular Victorian-era woman's contribution as an educator of adults in late 19th century America, Mary Baker Eddy. The research question was, "What is Mary Baker Eddy's contribution to adult education." In 1881, Eddy established a co-ed college that included many features found in modern Adult Education programs, decades before the field of Adult Education was identified in 1926. Eddy's system of education continues to be practiced today. [For the full proceedings, see ED673719.]
