Lillian de Lissa, Women Teachers and Teacher Education in the Twentieth Century: A Transnational History

Abstract/Notes: Beginning with Lillian de Lissa’s career as foundation principal of the Adelaide Kindergarten Training College in Australia (1907–1917) and Gipsy Hill Training College in London (1917–1947), and incorporating the lives and work of her Australian and British graduates, this book illuminates the transnational circulation of knowledge about teacher education and early childhood education in the twentieth century. Acutely aware of anxieties regarding the role of modern women and the social positioning of teachers, students who attended college under de Lissa’s leadership experienced a progressive institutional culture and comprehensive preparation for work as kindergarten, nursery and infant teachers. Drawing on a broad range of archival material, this study explores graduates’ professional and domestic lives, leisure activities and civic participation, from their initial work as novice teachers through diverse life paths to their senior years. Due to the interwar marriage bar, many women teachers married, resigned from paid work and became mothers. The book explores their experiences, along with those of lifelong teachers whose work spread across a range of educational fields and different parts of the world. Although most graduates spent their lives in Australia or England, de Lissa’s personal and professional networks traversed the British dominions and colonies, Europe and the USA, fostering fascinating global connections between people, places and educational ideas.

Abstract/Notes: Under the heading Jinka... "Laid out with wide streets and benefiting from a mild climate - which has encouraged an exuberant growth of mango and other trees - Jinka is one of Ethiopia's most pleasant small towns. -- with an airstrip, petrol station, Montessori kindergarten, and bank, it also serves the surrounding countryside with a large and colourful Saturday market. This market is well worth a visit, as is the South Omo Research Centre (still under construction in early 1994) with its museum. The centre is situated on the Bulat hill, overlooking the town with a spectacular view, and will be a resource for anthropologists, tourists, and townspeople." Jinka's best hotel is the Orit, right next to the airstrip. The Omo Hotel across the road is a close second. If it's the season for fruit, ask for fresh papaya juice. [Camerapix 1995, p 177-180]
