"Another Twenty-Five Years at Hull House (1910-1935): Jane Addams, Planning, and Housing Reform.”
Ann Durkin Keating
Dr. C. Frederick Toenniges Professor of History at North Central College

Much of the scholarship on Jane Addams, social progressive reformer, focuses on her early work that she wrote about in her cornerstone book: Twenty Years at Hull House. Learn more about Addams’ work during her next twenty-five years at Hull-House (1910-1935). Keating will present on research she is currently doing with Rima Lunin Schultz that focuses on housing reform and early urban planning in the context of the Roaring Twenties and Great Depression.’
