This was super interesting to read. I love all the detail you provided. And I especially like how you addressed the lack of diversity in the past and how you aim and work towards a more diverse future.
I would imagine so, especially among research assistants working in the field. Unfortunately I was unable to find records on them. It would be amazing if a historian could dig deeper. I'm sure they are much more skilled than I in finding such records.
This is interesting, but I frankly recoil over the notion of training. What are we, dogs? I have a doctorate too, and I'd hate to think that I needed to be trained to receive it. I prefer to think of it as institutional ratification that I was up to snuff. For sure lineages are interesting, but trained?
Perhaps we differ in our understanding of the term 'training' here. In my view, training goes beyond didactic learning in the classroom. I use this term to refer to the mentored, experiential learning, in which one acquires advanced skills of a niche craft.

Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback!
So glad you started a new, diverse, line. But I bet there were many women who were not academically trained but were taught in the field.
