The Teaching Workshop on U.S. Women's History was founded in 1978 at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) by Katherine Kish Sklar, a faculty member of UCLA's History Department. The Workshop was initially funded by grants from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH); additional support was obtained from the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton University. The Workshop's members are post-secondary faculty who are teaching, or plan to develop and teach, courses in United States (U.S.) women's history. Workshop attendees share syllabi; develop strategies for promoting the teaching of women's history; and discuss current research. The Workshop, hosted by the UCLA History Deparment, meets annually--usually the first weekend in February--on the UCLA campus. Members of the Workshop have included: Ellen DuBois, Mary Felstiner, Sherry Katz, Valerie Matsumoto, and Mary Logan Rothschild. NOTE: a related organization, the Women's Western History Group, is based at Arizona State University.
Each meeting has two discussion topics on the agenda: a curriculum-based topic and a discussion on a current aspect of feminism. At the February 2004 Workshop meeting the curricular discussion topic was: Women and Religion; the second topic was: 3rd Wave of Feminism.
