Hi Rachel,

There is an article in Journal of Canadian Art History; 2004, Vol. 25, p100-125, 26p by Lisa Panayotidis on the history and founding of the Department of Art at the University of Toronto.

Of note is the paragraph that starts with: "If Cody [the President of the University of Toronto] showed little interest in an academic with established ideas and temperament, he apparently had no intention of hiring a woman for the Chair of Fine Art".

Hope this helps,

Margaret

She was chair of three different art departments beginning in 1970 until her retirement in 1990. The article can't be too lengthy, but I want to try to put her achievements in recent historical context of academic administration so that younger readers especially will be able to understand what she did, what academia was like then, how it was changing. I wonder if someone could easily point me to some references that deal specifically with academic art departments, especially something like a timeline of women administrators, or women department chairs, or women in administrative positions in art and art history departments in the U.S.? 
Thank you!
