Awards for anthropology
A former Christchurch teacher has won scholarships - worth a total of $16,000 towards her doctoral studies in anthropology. Ms Helen Cook is studying women and the impact of the child-rearing years, analysing a generation of change and contradiction between a post-war decade of women and their daughters in the 1970 s and
19805. . She will receive $2OOO a year for three years from the Sarah Ann Rhodes Fellowship and $5OOO a year for two years from a James Macintosh post-graduate scholarship in education. Ms Cook, who is 36, was born in Christchurch and educated at Riccarton High School and Christchurch
Teachers’ College. She worked nine years as a primary teacher before taking a B.A. degree at Victoria University of Wellington, then an M.A. degree last year with a thesis on the politics of child care. She is president of the Early Childhood Workers’ Union, which last week won the right to negotiate awards for its members.
