Glinda Crawford received a Bachelor's of Science in Vocational Home Economics Education at Northeast Missouri State University in 1969. She earned her master's degree at Iowa State University in 1975. That same year, she moved to the University of North Dakota where she accepted a position as Head of the Home Economics Department. She returned to Iowa State in 1978 and earned a Ph.D from that institution in 1980. Crawford then resumed her role at UND. As Department Head, she advised student teachers, recruited students, and supervised curricula.
Crawford worked with national Home Economics groups and professors throughout her career. Her goal was to promote the UND program on the national level.
When the Home Economics Education program was eliminated in 1995, Crawford moved to the UND Department of Sociology.
The Glinda Crawford Papers contain materials related to Crawford's tenure as head of the UND Department of Home Economics Education. These include publications, correspondence, home economics curriculum schedules for UND and other universities, lists of Home Economics graduates, student teacher placement lists and guidelines, and home economics career outlook reports and statistics. Publications by Crawford include articles, a student teaching handbook, and Home Economics Department program reviews and reports. Articles about Crawford comment on her artistic abilities and teaching techniques. One folder contains an article on UND alumna H. Christine Finlayson, who served as North Dakota State Supervisor of Vocational Home Economics from 1922 to 1963. Correspondence includes letters to and from supporters of the UND home economics program and letters to cooperating teachers participating in student teacher placements. The collection also contains material about the Home Economics Advisory Committee, formed in 1991 to advise about the feasibility of retaining UND's home economics program.
