“…The results regarding the analysis of the bibliography provided in the TGs, which show a bibliographic compilation where male authorship almost doubles the rate of female authorship, evidence a clear androcentric tendency also identified in other studies (Lengermann and Niebrugge, 2007;García-Ramos et al, 2020;García-Jiménez, 2021;García-Jiménez and Simonson, 2021;. These data, in turn, demonstrate that the knowledge transmitted in the Primary Education Degree of the Higher Education Institution is mainly based on the contributions of male authors.…”

“…As previously noted, studies analyzing the framework of symbolic relationships and the prestige and power system between men and women in different academic disciplinary communities are scarce (Sánchez, 2011). Approaches exist from the disciplinary field of sociology (Lengermann and Niebrugge, 2007) as well as from the realm of communication (García-Ramos et al, 2020;García-Jiménez, 2021;García-Jiménez and Simonson, 2021;García-Jiménez and Herrero, 2022). This research aims to contribute to visualizing the situation of women in the disciplinary space of Education and more specifically in the Primary Education (PE) Degree area.…”

This study examines the role of women in the academic and scientific domains, emphasizing the need for institutions to ensure women’s representation for an equitable system. We analyzed 794 syllabi from the Primary Education Degree within the Spanish University Network using a qualitative-comparative approach, focusing on women’s involvement in the management and coordination of courses and their representation in the associated bibliographic materials. The findings reveal a predominantly androcentric environment, where, despite women’s active participation in course leadership, their contributions to the bibliographic landscape are significantly limited. The research highlights the disparities in gender representation and underscores the necessity for measures to enhance women’s visibility in academic and scientific spaces.

“…Scholar Marianne Schnitger Weber (1870-1954), well-known for her publications and feminist-oriented sociology, served the GDP as well. By the end of the 1920s, she had published numerous books, hosted an intellectual salon, and received an honorary degree for her scholarship (Lengermann and Niebrugge, 2007). Weber embraced the GDP early and became the first woman delegate to the federal state parliament in Baden (Hanke and Whimster, 2011).…”

In this article, we map the idiosyncratic social research career of Frieda Wunderlich during her years in Berlin (1884–1963). We recover elements of Wunderlich’s unique deployment of social data and her analyses that are emblematic of contributions she made and that have been previously overlooked. We highlight Wunderlich as she lived and worked alongside other women in Berlin who shaped discourse and practice on social protections during a unique moment in the Weimar era. As a scholar and practitioner, Wunderlich helped transform the significance of the relationship between economy and society by insisting on the primacy of humane labor conditions. Our research explores two elements of Wunderlich’s contributions in this context: (1) her efforts to integrate academic social research into public policy and (2) her participation in active, feminist spaces for new policy practices, politics and education. To analyze Wunderlich’s career in Berlin, we refer to three interrelated arenas where she made significant contributions: the German Association of Female Civil Servants of Welfare (1919–1933), the German Democratic Party (1925–1933), the German Academy for Women’s Social and Educational Work (1925–1933). In our exploration of Wunderlich’s scholarship and policy practice within these arenas, we situate her contributions alongside other women including Dorothea Hirschfeld, Hedwig Wachenheim, Cora Berliner, Gertrud Bäumer, Helene Lange, Marianne Weber, Hanna Meuter, Alice Salomon, and Hilde Lion. Recovering and bringing into conversation several figures, we find that theory and praxis concurrently informed Wunderlich’s career, as it did for many of the women around her.

“…In the 1960s and 70s organizational and managerial theories highlighted in sociological textbooks were primarily based on the male experience. The voices of women theoreticians were subjugated and therefore essentially erased (Lengermann & Neibrugge, 1998). Thus, the curriculum designed to teach macro practice courses in graduate schools was heavily dependent on classical organizational theory, focused on efficiencies, and implied that there was a "best" way to administer, manage, and supervise in human service organizations (Netting & O'Connor, 1998).…”

Over 30 years since Alternative Social Agencies (Perlmutter, 1988) was published, scholars from a range of disciplines have studied alternative approaches to human service administration, management, and leadership. In this paper, we pull the historical threads of alternative voices into the web of contemporary practice and memorialize Perlmutter’s legacy to social work education and practice. We begin with an historical perspective, framing the concept of an alternative agency and establishing the narrative in which Perlmutter’s book was incubated. We then review the literature that has emerged on alternative agencies and build on her quest to conceptualize what it means to be an “alternative agency,” using the subtype of feminist organizations as an exemplar. Finally, based on a review of this diverse literature, and grounded in the factors for success originally identified by Perlmutter, we identify lessons learned about strategies used in contemporary alternative agencies and their implications for human service leadership.
