Putting the “Co” in Education: Timing, Reasons, and Consequences of College Coeducation from 1835 to the Present

The history of coeducation in U.S. higher education is explored through an analysis of a database containing almost all 4-year undergraduate institutions that operated in 1897, 1924, 1934, or 1980. The opening of coeducational institutions was continuous throughout its history, and the switching from single-sex was also fairly constant from 1835 to the 1950s before accelerating in the 1960s and 1970s. Older and private single-sex institutions were slower to become coeducational, and institutions persisting as single-sex into the 1970s had lower enrollment growth than those that switched earlier. Access to coeducational institutions was associated with increased women’s educational attainment.

"Ars Stripped of Praxis": Robert J. Connors on Coeducation and the Demise of Agonistic Rhetoric

Through a review of some of the "daily themes" written by women at Radcliffe as well as scholarship on the history of coeducation, developments in pedagogy, the changing content of rhetoric textbooks, the influence of Harvard, and the work of scholars whose theories resisted the dominance of current-traditional rhetoric, this article challenges Robert J. Connors' assertion that coeducation contributed to the demise of agonistic rhetoric. The orientation of Connors' work suggests that while women's role in rhetorical history is slowly being recognized, their words and their experiences continue to receive less consideration than they warrant within the field.

Learning Together: A History of Coeducation in American Schools.

In this book the authors explore the factors that have shaped coeducation since its origins. The text is accompanied by contemporary photographs and photo-essays that add evidence about gender in classrooms. They address a number of provocative questions. Why did Americans choose to educate boys and girls together the very time they were creating separate spheres for adult men and women? How did beliefs about the similarities and differences of boys and girls shape gender policies and practices in schools? Why did criticisms of coeducation often have little impact on everyday classroom practices? To what degree did the treatment of boys and girls differ by class, race, region, and historical period? Why did policymakers alternatively see girls or boys as the group at risk? The authors show that the history of coeducation is not a unified tale of pathology or progress. Schools have reflected some of the gender inequalitities embedded in the larger society, yet they have in some degree been sheltered enclaves where children and youth were treated in ways that contrasted sharply with the lives of adult women and men. Debates over gender policies suggest that Americans have made public education the repository of their hopes and anxieties about relationships between the sexes. Thus the history of coeducation serves as a window not only on constancy and change in gender practices in the schools but also on cultural conflicts about gender in the broader society.
