Tamara Kern Harevan, a former faculty member in the History Department, died Oct. 18. She was 65 years old and lived in Newark, Del., where she was on the faculty of the University of Delaware.
Dr. Harevan was well-known for her research into how families adapt to changes in industrial society in places like New England. Her research involved interviewing generations of families about their work and home lives. Dr. Harevan was particularly interested in how factory closings and events like World War II, as well as everyday challenges such as caring for elderly parents, affected families.
After earning a master's degree from the University of Cincinnati and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University, Dr. Harevan began her academic career at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and later taught at Harvard University. She left Clark to join the Center for Populations Studies at the University of Delaware in 1976. At her death, Dr. Harevan was the Unidel Professor of Family Studies, with a joint appointment in urban affairs and public policy, at the University of Delaware.
Dr. Harevan wrote "Amoskeag: Life and Work in an American Factory City," "Family Time and Industrial Time: The Relationship Between the Family and Work in a New England Industrial Community" and "Families, History and Social Change: Life Course and Cross Cultural Perspectives." She also edited "Aging and Generational Relations" and co-edited "Family History Revisited: Comparative Perspectives." In 1975, she founded the Journal of Family History, which she edited for 20 years. She also co-edited the History of the Family: An International Journal, which she founded in 1995.
