| Biography:
|
|
Dr. Pam Graves teaches a wide range of history courses at all levels in the areas of modern European history and women’s history. The European history courses (HIST 412, 456, 471, 517, 522, 594) cover not just the Western European states, Britain, France and Germany, but also Eastern European countries that came under Communist control after World War II. One of the women’s history courses compares women in the United States and Great Britain in the 19th and 20th centuries (HIST 336) and the other two look at women throughout Europe in the same time period (HIST 335 and HIST 521). In addition she teaches a world history course, HIST 110: World History Since 1500, because she feels strongly that students need to understand the inter-connected world in which we live, and an interdisciplinary course, taught with Dr. Schwartz from the Art Dept., HIST 151: Reason and Revolution, which covers not only the art and history of Europe in the 18th and early 19th centuries, but also its philosophy and literature.
Dr. Graves' research interests have been in the same areas as the courses she teaches–Europe and Women. She has written two books about women in socialist parties, and she is now studying the experience of different groups of immigrants–Irish and Jewish in the 19th century and Pakistanis and West Indians in the 20th–in a London inner-city ghetto.
