My Fall 2011 English and Women’s Studies upper-level undergraduate class, “Theories of Masculinity” was designed to coordinate with the 40th anniversary of undergraduate women at Lehigh University. A major component of this course was a student-produced documentary film that considers the effects of co-education on men and masculinity at Lehigh. This film project provided my students with an opportunity to examine critically Lehigh’s institutional history, focusing on the late 1960s and early 1970s. While it was not my initial intention, I was extremely pleased by the students’ abilities to research and study their own school’s history. They made extensive use of Lehigh’s Archives and Special Collections to collect numerous articles, documents, and perhaps most importantly, photographs, and they incorporated these materials into the different sections of the film (see Figures 1-6). Students discovered several cultural texts from the 1960s and 1970s that portrayed Lehigh as a haven for privileged masculinity—a sphere in which men appeared largely ignorant of the volatile Civil Rights Movement and the emergent mid-century Women’s Movement. And yet, my students’ research also revealed that the Lehigh community of this era was also clearly cognizant of impending social changes. As my students tracked this tension between the ossification of male hegemony and the certainty of coming shifts, they developed a newfound appreciation for the importance of institutional history to the present operations of a university.
