Christine Min Wotipka is Associate Professor (Teaching)
of Education and (by courtesy) Sociology and Director of the master’s
program in International Comparative Education and International
Educational Administration and Policy Analysis at the Stanford University
School of Education (SUSE).
Dr. Wotipka earned her
graduate degrees from Stanford – a PhD in International Comparative
Education in 2001 and a master’s in Sociology in 1999. She graduated with a
bachelor’s degree (summa cum laude) in International Relations and French
from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, in 1993. Prior to joining
the faculty at SUSE, Dr. Wotipka was an assistant professor at her undergraduate
alma mater and a visiting assistant professor/global fellow at the
University of California, Los Angeles.
Dr. Wotipka’s research
interests include gender and higher education, and globalization and
citizenship education. She has a Spencer Foundation Grant titled
“Globalization, Citizenship, and Education: A Cross–National Study of
Curricula, 1955–2005” (with Francisco O. Ramirez and John W. Meyer). Among
other studies, this grant supports her current paper with Mana Nakagawa,
“The Worldwide Incorporation of Women in Social Science Curricula:
1970-2008.” Another study, with Corbin Schrader (forthcoming in Feminist Formations), examines
women’s depictions in World War II narratives in American History textbooks
over forty years.
Dr. Wotipka’s affiliations
with centers and programs on campus are numerous. She is particularly
active with the Clayman Institute for Gender Research having served as the
Iris F. Litt, M.D., Director of the Graduate Dissertation Fellows Program,
a member of the Faculty Advisory Board, a Non–Residential Faculty Research
Fellow in 2008-09, and a consultant to the Institute’s Dual–Career
Academics Program.
In 2010, Dr. Wotipka and
her husband, Anthony Lising Antonio (Associate Professor of Education at
Stanford), founded the Education and Society Theme (EAST) House – a
living-learning space for undergraduates interested in educational
research, policy, activism, and teaching. Dr. Wotipka leads a weekly
seminar at EAST House titled “Current Issues and Debates in Education.” Previous
to that, Drs. Wotipka and Antonio were Resident Fellows at EAST House under
its former theme of East Asian Studies from 2006-10.
Having proudly served as a
United States Peace Corps volunteer in rural northeast Thailand from
1993-95, Dr. Wotipka returned to Thailand in 2008 when she and Dr. Antonio
led an overseas seminar with the Bing Overseas Studies Program. While
there, they and their students met Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn; former
prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva;
and other governmental and non-governmental officials, Thai academics, and
Stanford alumni who spoke on the seminar’s theme of education, development,
and globalization.
Dr. Wotipka enjoys spending
her free time with her husband and their two school-aged children. She enjoys
politics, the outdoors, independent movies, and fiery Asian food.
