Scope and Contents
The
Kathleen B. Jones Papers document Jones' professional career as a Professor, Associate Dean at San Diego State University and as activist-scholar
within the greater community. This collection provides researchers with documentation of some of the activities and the contributions
Jones made to the area of feminist scholarship. The papers date from 1977 to 2003, with the bulk of the documents created
in the 1980s and 1990s. The collection consists of academic papers related to courses Jones instructed; materials from community-based
projects, including video records; and papers documenting Jones' international work in South Africa and at the University
of Örebro, Sweden. The collection has been divided into two series,
Academic Papers and
Professional Papers. The Professional series contains three sub-series:
Community Projects,
Homicide Research, and
Conference/Outreach. The collection contains a number of video recordings, photographs, and posters.
The
Academic series dates from 1977-2003, with the bulk of records created between 1981 and 1995, and includes materials from courses instructed
by Jones. These materials include course syllabi, class notes and handouts, and course readers from classes at SDSU and University
California, Berkeley (UCB). The majority of the courses are Women's Studies classes, from both SDSU and UCB. There are also
significant records of Political Science classes taught by Jones at SDSU. The series documents Jones' involvement with the
STINT Fellowship (Swedish Foundation for International Research and Higher Education,) when she was a visiting scholar at
the University of Örebro, Sweden, from 1997-2000. The series also includes 72 video cassettes consisting of class lectures
(from visiting professors), and educational material. The series is filed alphabetically by department, numerically by course
number, and chronologically within each course.
The
Professional series dates from 1984-2000, and includes material documenting Jones' professional involvement in the national and international
community. The series includes three sub-series:
Community Projects (1984-1998),
Homicide Research (1980-1989), and
Conference/Outreach (1997-2000). The
Community Projects files contain materials documenting Jones' involvement with the Eleanor Roosevelt Centennial Celebration held at SDSU in
1984, interviews she conducted with the San Diego City Council in 1987, and notes from her
Around the World in a Single Day (AWISD) project, when Jones' was Director of University Resources for the City Heights Pilot from 1997-1999. The
Homicide Research sub-series includes research Jones did into homicides in San Diego in the late 19th century. It includes newspaper accounts
of murders from the
San Diego Union, 1870-1900, and a number of data-information sheets pertaining to each of the published homicides. Jones compiled the files
in the 1980s. The
Conferences/Outreach subseries documents Jones' involvement in a conference titled
Women Transforming the Public, held in Santa Barbara in 1999, and her involvement in South Africa in 1997-2000, including some material from the People
to People Ambassador program (a citizen-to-citizen exchange program), the news journal
Lola Press, the South African newspaper
The Star, and numerous brochures and pamphlets regarding the abuse and rape of South African women. The materials are not particularly
extensive, but do provide some insight into the plight of women in South Africa at the turn of the twenty-first century. Records
in this series are filed by subject.
The
Posters and Broadsides series, which dates from 1976-1999, comprises broadsides and fliers for political, activist and academic events and conferences,
most but not all related to the women's movement. The series includes three subseries:
Local (1980-1996),
National (1976-1984) and
International (1980-1999).
