In 2009, American Studies professor Gladys Haddad, herself a Flora Stone Mather College alumna, created a SAGES course for CWRU students, in which she helped them develop interview guides and conduct oral history interviews with other FSM alumnae. You can read the CWRU blog post about this first set of interviews here.
Following this initial endeavor, Dr. Haddad helped students conduct 20 more interviews (for a total of 26) with graduates spanning the years of Mather College, from as early as the class of 1936 all the way to the 1960s and 70s. You can listen to all these interviews, as well as view Dr. Haddad's documentaries about Flora Stone Mather and the college, at this link: Flora Stone Mather Oral History Project
On this page, you will also find short descriptions of each interview, including a topic-based guide to find interviews that discuss specific aspects of life at Mather that might interest you! You can also refer to our photo gallery for images related to what the interviewees discuss.
Gladys Haddad passed away in 2020, and the current Mather Center staff has been inspired by her work to continue collecting the stories of women at CWRU. We are beginning to collect our own oral histories, with individuals who were instrumental in the creation of the Mather Center, as well as the experiences of women-identified people from our community. It is our hope to capture the diversity of experiences with CWRU, and how key social identities such as race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, etc (as they intersect with gender) shape those experiences. As we collect those interviews, we will post them here as well as creating a new repository with the library to maintain these records of life at CWRU.
If you are interested in being interviewed for this project, please contact Hannah Regan at hxr256@case.edu.
