Abstract: | In order to explore education at the first two Pan-Pacific Women's Conferences, this article builds on Campbell and Sherington's account of education in Oceania and on empirical research undertaken by Selleck and others, along with relevant primary source material. It traces elements of empire as they played out in inter-war women's education and cultural internationalism. Following Paisley it argues that histories of ‘racial modernities’ articulated in and through women's education and circulating via practices of cultural internationalism were integral to histories of ‘race’ and nation. |
