Biography: Debra L. Schultz

Debra L. Schultz
Debra Schultz, author of Going South: Jewish Women in Civil Rights.

Debra L. Schultz, a feminist historian, is Director of Programs for the Open Society Institute (Soros Foundations) Network Women's Program, which works to include women in the development of emerging democracies, primarily in Central/Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

As a Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Research on Women at Rutgers University, she pursued research on Jewish women in the civil rights movement while studying gender in the transitional societies of Central/Eastern Europe. With teaching interest ranging from women's history to cross-cultural  studies, she has taught courses on multicultural U.S. women's history at the New School for Social Research and the history of Black-Jewish relations at Rutgers University.

Committed to forging links among research, policy, and practice from U.S. and global perspectives, she continues to research and promote women's cross-ethnic and cross-racial alliances for social change.

The Jewish Women's Archive would like to thank Debra L. Schultz for her contribution to Jewish women's history, and for allowing us to use her materials for this Feature.
