\u201cIf we don’t understand the diversity of our own world, we’re not well equipped to connect with people and to act as responsible citizens as we get older.” -Professor Jennifer Helgren<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before becoming chair of the history department at Pacific, Professor Jennifer Helgren was a grad student struggling to find a dissertation topic (relatable). She was passionate about United States history and women\u2019s rights but wasn\u2019t sure where to start researching. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, an unexpected blast from her past presented unlikely inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI came across some of my old Camp Fire stuff in the process of moving from one apartment to another,\u201d Helgren said. \u201cHaving been a Camp Fire Girl in the late ’70s and early ’80s, the organization was quite influential in my own experience. But of course, as a child, I wasn\u2019t thinking about, \u2018How feminist is this organization? How did they define race and whiteness and the middle class?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researching Camp Fire\u2019s origins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The more Helgren dug into the Camp Fire Girls as a potential research focus, the more material she found to explore the cultural shifts happening throughout United States history\u2014and to contextualize her own association with the group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt started to make sense, what my own youthful experiences with Camp Fire\u2019s origins were,\u201d said Professor Helgren. \u201cYou have to write and research about stuff that you\u2019re passionate about, but it also has to matter beyond it being something interesting in your own life. Youth organizations are really significant spaces for how we identify and understand citizenship roles and how they are gendered and raced.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender Studies Colloquium book talk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Professor Helgren has continued to research youth organizations in the U.S. throughout her career, most recently in a book released in December 2022 titled, “The Camp Fire Girls: Gender, Race and American Girlhood, 1910-1980.\u201d She shared insights from her book earlier this semester at the biannual Gender Studies Colloquium<\/a>, a research series from Pacific\u2019s Gender Studies Program<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the event, Helgren discussed Camp Fire Girls\u2019 complicated legacy: Camp Fire\u2019s founders were progressive educators who invited girls of all backgrounds to join, but also created what Helgren calls a \u201cfalse sense of cultural universality\u201d by centering experiences of white American girlhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the book ends up doing is tracing how complicated that concept of essential feminism is through the years. It\u2019s not the same kind of intersectional feminism that we think about today,\u201d explained Helgren during the conversation. \u201cIt didn\u2019t center the voices and experiences of overlapping and concurrent forms of oppression.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring youth organizations in the classroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In sharing her scholarship at Pacific, Helgren says it\u2019s been interesting to observe how students respond to the history of youth organizations and start forming their own lines of inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most common response is, \u2018Huh, I never really thought about these organizations as shaping our gender expectations or our gender roles, at least not to the extent that they do,\u2019\u201d Helgren said. \u201cI had a student who was an Eagle Scout a few years back who got interested in analyzing the way leadership is taught through Scouts. That was an interesting paper.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Helgren says that in many ways, her students teach her as well. She encourages students to bring their own experiences to her classes and be part of the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause of the topics that students want to talk about and the current events coming up, sometimes I have to sit back and say, \u2018Tell me a bit more about that,\u2019\u201d said Helgren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why take gender studies and history courses?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While gender studies and history courses can be challenging and out of students\u2019 comfort zones, Professor Helgren encourages students of all majors to broaden their academic horizons and try taking a class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we don’t understand the diversity of our own world, we’re not well equipped to connect with people and to act as responsible citizens as we get older,\u201d said Helgren. \u201cBut I also think that these classes help us understand ourselves and help us understand how we relate to others in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
