Biography: 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.
