The Electrical 20's

from Historiography! · host Jim Stewart Allen

Woah! Electricity is so cool! Electricity had been around for a bit, but was still a growing industry with so much to explore and do. This film is an exploration into these possibilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9bXV0ac1S4 Use this source to also explore the fight for equality by women in the 1920's. Women were going to college but they still appeared to have very different experiences than men did. Would the woman in this film be able to easily obtain an electrical engineering degree? This film is so interesting because of all the new historical questions it brings up!

Regina Jonas: the first female rabbi - for iPod/iPhone The Open University Regina Jonas (1902-1944), who is now widely recognised as the world’s first female rabbi, was ordained in Nazi Germany in 1935. However, for many years after her death at Auschwitz, she remained a largely forgotten figure until the discovery of her papers in the early 1990s. This collection explores Jonas’ story, which raises important issues in relation to the role of women in historiography and the connection between processes of remembering, forgetting and identity formation. Stefanie Sinclair, Open University Lecturer in Religious Studies, travels to Berlin to find out more about Jonas’ life and legacy within the Jewish community and speaks to British rabbis Sybil Sheridan and Elli Tikvah Sarah about why Jonas was almost forgotten and what she means to them and to other rabbis in Britain today. This material is taken from the Open University course: A332 Why is religion controversial? Historiography by Jeff and Laurel Jefferson A talk about historiography importance
