The Faculty of Today

Faculty in Cooperative Education

Pat Linn, J.D. Dawson Professor of Cooperative Education and Professor of Psychology and Women’s Studies. Favorite Co-op Site: Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Sante Fe. Pat writes: “They have so many wonderful programs, including an Arts and Leadership program for teens in the summer, and they just love Antioch students.”

Pat traveled to Spain to visit her daughter who is studying there and has found a better balance between work and the rest of life after only sixteen years of trying.
Pat organized a panel at the 2003 meeting of the American Association of Colleges and Universities called “Winning Victories for Humanity: Stories of Learning for Social Change.” The panel also included President Joan Straumanis ’57 and student Jonah Liebert ’03 from the College, and from Antioch Seattle, Dean Ormand Smythe ’69, faculty member Don Comstock and student Yvonne Kraus.

Pat submitted a paper to a top career journal for review. “A Lifespan Study of Occupational Choices: From Cooperative Education Through Retirement” with co-authors Jane Ferguson ’01 and former co-op faculty member Katie Egart, demonstrates that most Antioch graduates took career jobs in the same occupational categories of jobs they did on co-op, and describes four patterns of co-op to career job-taking.

A book co-edited by Adam Howard and Eric Miller ’82 called “Handbook for Research in Cooperative Education and Internships” is in production at Lawrence Erlbaum and Associates, due out late spring or early summer 2003.

Deborah A. Wilcox, Assistant Professor of Cooperative Education. Favorite Course: Learning in School and Community: Teaching for Social Justice and Change. Deborah has published an article titled “African-Centered Rites of Passage: Therapeutic Implications for Youth and Families” in the Spring 2003 issue of Minority Voices at the University of Louisville. She also participated in the 36th Annual Conference on Group Leadership, sponsored by the Atlanta Group Psychotherapy Society (AGPS). The conference was held at Unicoi Lodge and Conference Center in Helen, Georgia. AGPS is a multi-disciplinary organization dedicated to providing a local forum for the exchange of ideas among professionals interested in psychotherapy.

Deborah has also had the opportunity to do a great deal of co-op job development in Washington D.C. and throughout the Southeastern United States, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee.
