I struggle with how to conceptualize my project as activist scholarship. I do have a social
justice agenda—uncovering the oppressive nature of programs for “potentially
delinquent” girls and young women (delivered with War on Poverty funds, through
Hull House neighborhood centers, in 1960s Chicago). What sort of change can I
support when writing about programs that no longer exist? Must activist scholarship have a contemporary
component/implications, and if so, how do I pitch that as history?
