Abstract Details

2008, Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Education, Cleveland State University, College of Education and Human Services.
Convent education has sought to impart a set of moral values that would lead to a productive life, both spiritually and socially. The foundress of the Good Shepherd Sisters started a convent-based social service institution for vulnerable women and girls in Europe that evolved into a postsecondary education system in the United States for adolescent girls remanded by the judicial system. Convent education has been an underresearched area in the history of American education, and this dissertation takes parochial education for girls into account in the broad sweep of American educational developments. This historical study utilizes archival research, oral histories, student and teacher memoirs, and secondary sources to explore the Good Shepherd schools for girls in the mid twentieth century United States. The Good Shepherd schools featured manual labor, occupational training, and academic instruction that play a significant role in shaping girls’ identities.
