Dr. Wittner helped to establish the Women's Studies Program in 1979 (the first such program at a Jesuit University) and served as its director for five years. She taught courses in qualitative methods, the sociology of families, gender studies, and the politics of food. She was also a pioneer in ethnography and taught field methods and gender studies workshops around the world, including Nigeria, El Salvador, and Lithuania. Her research was always driven by a commitment to understanding institutions 鈥渇rom the bottom up,鈥� in her words. Her commitment to the voices of marginalized people resonates through thousands of pages of her handwritten notes in the scrupulously transcribed words of so many interviewees: dispossessed women workers, foster kids, victims of domestic violence.
