SUMMARY:'The one in the many': exploring Annette Schepel and Alice Buckton's engagements with international progressive education networks, 1873-1944
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/205559
DESCRIPTION:DOMUS Seminar Series 2023 - 2024\n
With speaker Dr Alistair Jones, University of Winchester
 The transnational work of Annette Hamminck Schepel (1844 -1931) and Alice Mary Buckton (1867-1944), remains largely unexplored in modern histories of education. Through their involvement with the settlement movement, Pestalozzi-Froebel Haus; Sesame House for Home Training, the Bahai’i Center for Learning at Green-Acre and the Chalice Well College for Women and Pilgrims’ Hostel, they were engaged in and, in some cases, founded an extensive range of international social networks. Using the untold story of Schepel’s and Buckton’s lives as a focus, we gain a deeper understanding into the way in which progressive educational networks closely intersected with other international movements of the time.\n
