Barbara Winslow is a historian who teaches in the School of  Education and for the Women's Studies Program. Her areas of specialization are in social studies curriculum development, integrating computer based multi-media technology into the urban classroom at both the elementary and secondary school level. She also specializes in integrating class, race and gender into the elementary and secondary curriculum.

She attended  Antioch College in the 1960's and has never forgotten the last valedictory address of its first president, Horace Mann, "Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for Humanity." She received a Ph.D. in European and US women's history from the University of Washington.

Her research focuses on the intersection of gender, class, race and sexuality on women in social protest movements. Her first book, Sylvia Pankhurst: Sexual Politics and Political Activism, (St. Martins, NY 1996) tells the story of an important suffragette, peace campaigner, anti-colonialist, anti-fascist, international socialist and feminist. She is presently writing a history of the women's liberation movement in   Seattle, Washington. Winslow is also researching how class, race and gender affect pedagogy, in particular with regard to technology. Clio in the Classroom: Teaching US Women’s History in the Schools, a book she co-authored and co-edited with Carol Berkin and Margaret Crocco, published by Oxford University Press will be out in January 2009.

Along with her research interests, Barbara Winslow serves on the Advisory Board of the North Star Fund, a foundation serving grassroots activist organizations in New York City. She is also a member of the Board of trustees of Antioch College, her alma mater.

She is the founder and project Director of the Shirley Chisholm Project of Brooklyn Women’s Activism 1945 to the Present.
