Book excerpt: The surprising, often fiercely feminist, always fascinating, yet barely known, history of home economics. The term “home economics” may conjure traumatic memories of lopsided hand-sewn pillows or sunken muffins. But common conception obscures the story of the revolutionary science of better living. The field exploded opportunities for women in the twentieth century by reducing domestic work and providing jobs as professors, engineers, chemists, and businesspeople. And it has something to teach us today. In the surprising, often fiercely feminist and always fascinating The Secret History of Home Economics, Danielle Dreilinger traces the field’s history from Black colleges to Eleanor Roosevelt to Okinawa, from a Betty Crocker brigade to DIY techies. These women—and they were mostly women—became chemists and marketers, studied nutrition, health, and exercise, tested parachutes, created astronaut food, and took bold steps in childhood development and education. Home economics followed the currents of American culture even as it shaped them. Dreilinger brings forward the racism within the movement along with the strides taken by women of color who were influential leaders and innovators. She also looks at the personal lives of home economics’ women, as they chose to be single, share lives with other women, or try for egalitarian marriages. This groundbreaking and engaging history restores a denigrated subject to its rightful importance, as it reminds us that everyone should learn how to cook a meal, balance their account, and fight for a better world.

Download or read book Guidelines for Adapting a Home Economics Curriculum to Minimum Facilities Within a Standard Non laboratory Classroom written by Shirley Kathryn Eddy and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to develop guidelines for the establishing and teaching of a home economics program within a standard, non-laboratory classroom. An opinionaire was developed and sent to 34 administrators of small high schools and junior high schools in Oregon believed to have no home economics programs in their schools. The opinionaire was designed to ascertain reasons for the lack of home economics in the curricula of these schools and to determine attitudes of administrators concerning home economics-related needs of students. From the replies received from 27 respondents, 13 full or partial programs were noted to be already in effect, leaving 14 completed opinionaires to be used in the study. Eleven of the 14 administrators requested a copy of the guidelines for a home economics program to be taught in a standard classroom. The two main reasons for having no home economics programs in the schools were a lack of money and having no teacher available. The administrators rated the importance of nine areas within the home economics curriculum with the highest rating shown for consumer education, personal and family finance. The other areas of home economics were rated high in importance with housing, home furnishings and household equipment and the occupational area receiving the most negative responses. The administrators believed home economics to be of greatest importance to girls of all ages and of all ability levels. They felt home economics was important as compared with other school subjects except for boys of the 12 to 13 age group. Guidelines were developed to encompass current trends in home economics and the Oregon Homemaking Education curriculum guide. Included were guidelines for every area rated by the administrators as being high in importance within the home economics curriculum. Some of the guidelines were drawn from the writer's experience in teaching a home economics program within a standard, non-laboratory classroom. These guidelines were sent to 30 home economics teachers in small Oregon high schools for examination and evaluation. Nineteen evaluations were returned with comments, questions and suggestions. The evaluation of the guidelines consisted of two sections. Section I requested information concerning educational background, other subjects taught and number of years experience in teaching home economics. Section II sought examination and evaluation of the guidelines as to their clarity and their adaptability toward meeting the objectives of the Oregon Homemaking Education curriculum. The evaluation of the guidelines by home economics teachers showed the majority as being receptive to the program. Teachers who had taught from two to five years offered the most comments. Classes taught by the respondents ranged from grade seven to twelve, with over four-fifths of the group teaching other subjects besides home economics. The areas receiving the most comments and questions were in the food preparation and sewing units. Guidelines were revised and clarified in accordance with suggestions made by the respondents. Flexible use of small appliances and mobile units, pre-planned programs for the efficient use of time, evaluation of choices and alternatives all can be coordinated with the guidelines to provide a workable, low-cost home economics program which can be established and taught within a standard, non-laboratory classroom.

Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.
