Bio/Research
Dr. Wotipka’s research interests center around two main themes examined from cross-national and longitudinal approaches. The first relates to the progress and experiences of women in higher education and the labor market. In one paper, she and her colleague examine trends and explanations for cross-national variability in women’s share of faculty positions worldwide from 1970 to the present. In another, they explore the rise in women's labor force participation as one of the main arguments to explain the rapid and worldwide growth in early childhood education enrollments. The second theme of her research is that of citizenship and education. This work explores how social science curricula, in the form of textbooks, have shifted focus away from the development of national identities to an emphasis on global citizenship in a diverse and multicultural world society, which increasingly comprises all members of society, including women and children. Her articles have appeared in Social Forces, Sociology of Education, Feminist Formations, and Comparative Education Review.
