Nancy C. Unger’s biography of
progressive politician and environmental pioneer Robert M. La
Follette received the 2001 Wisconsin Historical Society Book of
Merit Award. She also has the dubious honor of holding the only
triple position at Santa Clara University, serving the
Department of History, the Program for the Study of Women and
Gender Studies, and the Environmental Studies Institute. Her
current book project is Beyond “Nature’s Housekeepers”:
American Women and Gender in Environmental History, which
examines the ways in which prescribed gender roles as well as
issues including race and class have shaped how women have
responded differently to the environmental and environmental
issues than have men. She enjoys teaching in all three areas of
her position, and is on the editorial board of the Journal of
Gilded Age and Progressive Era. |
