Repercussions of the political, social, and economic upheaval that began with the civil rights movement in the 1960s were felt throughout the 1970s, and at the turn of the decade, Americans had an opportunity to elect a leader who could guide the country back into prosperity.  President Ronald Reagan won the 1980 presidential election, running on campaign promises of lower taxes, smaller government, and an overall focus on conservatism (Onion et al., 2018).

History of Art Museum Education From 1975-1985 Bryley M. Deneen Department of Educational Studies, Ball State University EDAC 631: Adult & Community Education Dr. Bo Chang February 5, 2022 Introduction Working women  were not treated the same as working men throughout the 1970s and 1980s.  These unequal treatments were seen in the fields of art history and museum education.  Women found it difficult to progress throughout the fields of art history and museum education, for they rarely obtained the position of museum director or museum education director.  There were also significant inequalities between the wages of men and women.  According to a study conducted in the late 1970s, women art historians occasionally earned $2,500 less than their male cohorts (Scott, 1981).  Such disproportionate treatments were not based on credentials; women were as academically trained or sometimes even more academically trained than their male contemporaries.  Th...

As a society, we were getting used to the idea of computers in our homes, instead of only in libraries or schools. Companies like Windows and AOL made it possible to search through an indefinite number of resources at once; something google would eventually make their living on. A population often overlooked during this time, however, is adult learners. There were incredibly significant themes happening societally during this time, many of which we can still reco...
