I am an historian of Modern Europe and Britain and women\u2019s and gender history, with interests in the history of race, the history of religion and African American history.<\/p>\n

I often teach with\u00a0Reacting to the Past,\u00a0<\/em>an active learning pedagogy of role-playing games.\u00a0In\u00a0Reacting to the Past<\/em>\u00a0games, students are assigned character roles with specific goals and must communicate, collaborate, and compete effectively to advance their objectives.\u00a0Reacting promotes engagement with big ideas and it is seriously fun.<\/p>\n

A video about these games:<\/p>\n

In 2019, my colleague Martha Attridge Bufton and I won the\u00a0Brilliancy Award<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0for our teaching with\u00a0Reacting<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I am now writing a\u00a0Reacting\u00a0<\/em>game about British women who fought for the vote and organized hunger strikes when they were jailed, refused to pay taxes until they could vote, and petitioned Parliament. Their campaign allows us to ask what is equality for women, should campaigns for justice use militant tactics, and how are divisions among women part of women\u2019s activism?<\/p>\n

I am also at work on a project called \u201cMissions to the Metropolis\u201d that asks what does \u201cBritish race\u201d mean in the later nineteenth century. It examines race, Protestantism and gender in three British mission projects from 1870-1914. British Protestants were deeply engaged with colonial missionary work in the late nineteenth century. During these decades, Jewish immigrants to Britain posed new challenges to the idea of the Protestant nation. Many British women were dedicated to converting these newcomers. Transatlantic religious movements, encouraged by innovations in steamship travel and telegraph cables and long-standing missionary zeal, aimed to introduce new religious ideas and practices to Britons from the United States. This complex interplay of evangelical and missionary activities with different origins and targets but all at work in Britain allows a reconsideration of how Protestantism, an anchor of national identity, was remade and how that sheds light on British ideas of a gendered racial identity.<\/p>\n

From 2007 to 2012, I was the Director of the Centre for Initiatives in Education (CIE) at Carleton University. The CIE provides a variety of programs to support non-traditional students entering BA studies. From 2011 to 2014 I was Joint Chair in Women\u2019s Studies\/Chaire Conjointe en Etudes des Femmes, a research and teaching position held jointly by Carleton University and University of Ottawa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[50],"yoast_head":"\nPamela Walker -
