Event Description
This 2024 Edgren Scholars team will share their oral history project which captured the “stories of pioneering women who broke institutional glass ceilings, debates over women in ministry at a university connected to an evangelical Baptist denomination, [and] the growth of women’s sports at Bethel.”
This work-in-process was part of Dr. Gehrz’s Fall 2024 sabbatical and includes a project blog, a timeline, and links to the oral history interviews that Chris conducted in Summer 2024, in collaboration with fellow Bethel professor Sam Mulberry and their student Ellie Heebsh.
