Project and Interview Process
Description
The Women and Leadership Archives Peace Studies Oral Histories Project began at the behest of professor, Kathleen Maas Weigert. As the Carolyn Farrell, BVM, Professorship for Women and Leadership endowed professor and as a leading scholar of peace, Professor Weigert recognized the importance of the story of Peace Studies at Mundelein College and its transition during the affiliation of Mundelein College and Loyola University Chicago. Professor Weigert and Nancy Freeman, director of the Women and Leadership Archives, Loyola University Chicago asked award winning videographer Kathleen Ermitage to facilitate the documentation of that story. In 2015, Ms. Ermitage conducted oral interviews with Professors William French, Kathleen McCourt, Gilda Parrella, and Prudence Moylan.
