Remembering Joyce Goodman

We regret to inform our membership that our dear colleague and friend, Joyce Goodman, passed away in January 2025. Joyce was Professor Emerita at the University of Winchester in the UK and member of CERLIS (Centre de Recherche sur les Liens Sociaux). She served as president of the History of Education Society UK and was editor of the journal History of Education. She was involved in ISCHE’s activities since the early 1990s, organizing panels and transnational research networks, and gave a keynote speech at our conference in Rutgers in 2008. She acted as secretary of ISCHE and became ISCHE’s Honorary Life Member in 2018. But above all, Joyce Goodman was a wonderful intellectual friend and collaborator, always promoting new research projects on women’s education and international networks. She will be deeply missed.

Rebecca Rogers wrote a beautiful laudatio of Joyce’s work when she was made into an Honorary Life Member in ISCHE: https://www.ische.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Laudation-for-Joyce-Goodman.pdf

We are organizing a special session in our next conference in Lille to launch her latest book and honor her work and life. Please check its details when the conference program becomes available.
