53: Chancellor Carol Christ and Professor Emerita Carol Clover on women in the academy, then and now

In 1970, when Chancellor Carol Christ joined UC Berkeley's English department as an assistant professor, only 3% of the faculty on campus were women. “I always felt like a pioneer, in part, because I’m of the generation of the feminist revolution,” says Christ.In this Fiat Vox podcast episode, Christ and her longtime friend and colleague Carol Clover, a professor emerita in Scandinavian studies and film studies, discuss what it was like for women in the academy 50 years ago and how it’s changed, what makes a strong leader — and offer advice to the next generation of Berkeley women.See photos and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News: https://news.berkeley.edu/2019/04/16/chancellor-carol-christ-with-professor-emerita-carol-clover/ Hosted on Acast.
