Christine Min Wotipka is Associate Professor
(Teaching) of Education and (by courtesy) Sociology; Director of the
master’s programs in International Comparative Education and International
Educational Administration and Policy Analysis at the Stanford University
School of Education (SUSE); and interim director of the Program in Feminist
Studies at Stanford University.
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 (published 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 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 enjoys spending
her free time with her husband, their two school-aged children, and their
rescue dog, a poochon named Zebi
(“river” in Chippewa). She enjoys politics, the outdoors, independent
movies, and fiery Asian food.

quarter, research and practice pertaining to gender, sexuality, and
education are covered by scholars from around the University and beyond. In
the spring, the seminar revolves around higher education and political
activism through the lens of race and ethnicity. Through an examination of
these topics, students are able to share and develop their varied interests
in educational research, policy, and practice.
Education,
Gender, and Development
Theories and perspectives from the social sciences relevant
to the role of education in changing, modifying, or reproducing structures
of gender differentiation and hierarchy. Cross-national research on the
status of girls and women and the role of development organizations and
processes. [To be offered in 2013-14]
Educational
Reform in International Context
Develops a critical policy analysis of educational innovation and reform in
selected countries. Uses theoretical perspectives and a variety of policy
analysis approaches to examine actual educational reforms and their
implementation.
Gender
and Higher Education: National and International Perspectives*
Examines the ways in which higher education structures and policies affect
females, males, and students in relation to each other and how changes in
those structures and policies improve experiences for females and males
similarly or differently. Students are expected to gain an understanding of
theories and perspectives from the social sciences relevant to an
understanding of the role of higher education in relation to structures of
gender differentiation and hierarchy. Topics include undergraduate and
graduate education; identity and sexuality; gender and science; gender and
faculty; and the development of feminist scholarship and pedagogy.
Attention is paid to how these issues are experienced by women and men in
the United States, including people of color, and by academics throughout
the world, and how these have changed over time. Research skills are
developed by designing research proposals on topics relevant to gender and
higher education.
International
Human Rights and Education
Examination of international human rights in theory and
practice with a focus on how education may be seen as both a human rights
issue as well as a tool to educate citizens about their human
rights. Specific issue areas concerning the right to education address
women’s right to education. Practice is given in lesson plans in human
rights education.
World, Societal and
Educational Change: Comparative Perspectives
Analyzes the relations between educational and societal developments from a
comparative perspective. Includes readings on various theoretical
perspectives and empirical studies on the structural and cultural sources
of educational expansion and differentiation, and on the cultural and
structural consequences of educational institutionalization. Research
topics cover education in relation to nation building; mobility and
equality; and international organizations and world culture.
