1	Casa Suzana Wesley: Uma abordagem histórica do abrigo para meninas 1994 a 2003, a partir da categoria de gênero Marilúcia Fernandes Lima 15 August 2006 (has links) Esta dissertação é realizada com o intuito de reconhecer e trazer à luz a história de mulheres metodistas, engajadas na ação social da Igreja, no Rio Grande do Sul, especificamente na cidade de Viamão. Esta história é retratada através do envolvimento das mulheres que participaram deste projeto nas ações propostas pela Casa Suzana Wesley, entre os anos de 1994 a 2003, e a sua inter-relação com o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. O conceito de cidadania e diaconia é trabalhado a partir das experiências das mulheres metodistas e sua relação com o compromisso social, decodificada do documento Plano para a Vida e a Missão da Igreja Metodista. A metodologia empregada neste trabalho é a hermenêutica crítica feminista, particularmente a categoria da suspeita e o instrumental analítico de gênero. / This thesis is carried out with the intention of recognizing and bringing to light the history of Methodist women involved in social action of the church in Rio Grande do Sul, specifically in the city of Viamão. This history is portrayed through the involvement of the women who participated in this project in the activities proposed by the Suzana Wesley House between the years of 1994 and 2003 and their interrelationship with the Statute of Children and Adolescents. The concept of citizenship and diaconate is dealt with through the experiences of Methodist women and their relation with social commitment, decodified from the document Plan for the Life and Mission of the Methodist Church. The methodology used in this study is feminist critical hermeneutics, particularly the category of suspect and the analytical instrument of gender.

2	Relationships of Reform: Frances MacGregor Ingram, Immigrants, and Progressivism in Louisville, Kentucky, 1900-1940 Laura Eileen Criss Bergstrom (13144761) 24 July 2022 (has links) <p>This dissertation focuses on the life of Frances MacGregor Ingram, a progressive reformer in Louisville, Kentucky. It follows Ingram’s career in social work at the Neighborhood House settlement and the Progressive reform movements in which she held leadership positions from 1905 to 1939. This project concentrates on Ingram’s involvement in reform movements pertaining to tenement housing, garbage collection management, dance hall regulation, juvenile delinquency, mental hygiene institutions, probation, wholesome recreation, child welfare, child labor, women’s working conditions, unemployment, and Great Depression relief.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Most Progressive Era scholarship concentrates on northern cities and reformers, such as Jane Addams at Hull House. But much of the literature overlooks southern contributions to the settlement house movement and progressive reform as a whole. This dissertation serves three purposes. First it helps fill the gap in scholarship on southern progressivism. Reformers in the urban South were not limited to charity work and prohibition. They engaged in complex and dynamic social reforms. Incredibly diverse in scope, Kentucky’s reform history should be understood in the context of southern society and politics, which impacted which progressive reforms were successful and which were not.</p> <p> </p> <p>Second, it builds on other women’s reform scholars by expanding previous conceptions of the Progressive Era to include the 1930s. By doing so, it provides a better understanding of women’s reform activism. Third, this dissertation provides a more balanced approach by emphasizing the alliances Ingram formed with immigrant communities. With a few exceptions, settlement literature primarily focuses on the movement leaders. Unlike some settlements, Neighborhood House Americanization programs via clubs, recreation, and citizenship classes were negotiated between the settlement and its neighbors. Through the lens of Ingram’s urban reform experience in Kentucky, this dissertation uses gender, class, race, ethnicity, and region to unpack the complicated relationships between reformers like Ingram, working-class immigrants, and male political officials. </p> Gender history Progressivism Progressive Reform Louisville, Kentucky Kentucky Settlement House Movement Child Labor Movement Child Welfare Movement Playground Movement Wholesome Recreation Movement Great Flood of 1937 Frances Ingram Probation Movement Dance Halls Tenement Housing Immigration Southern History Mental Hygiene Neighborhood House Syrian Immigrants Jewish Immigrants Louisville Educational Alliance Presbyterian Colored Missions Plymouth Settlement Cabbage Patch Settlement Wesley House West End Settlement Louisville Tenement House Commission Kentucky Consumers' League Kentucky Child Labor Association Louisville Fresh Air Home Frances MacGregor Ingram
