  • Introduction of Professor Eudine Barriteau for Induction Ceremony As Principal of the Cave Hill Campus, University of the West Indies
    1 Introduction of Professor Eudine Barriteau for Induction Ceremony as Principal of the Cave Hill Campus, University of the West Indies Patricia Mohammed, Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies Campus Coordinator, School for Graduate Studies and Research, UWI, St Augustine 12th December, 2015 “Reading creates parallel worlds, says Eudine Barriteau “It stimulates the mind”. “From young I began to experience the interiority of the mind, how it could operate in direct contradistinction to perceived reality, so from about 13 I would observe situations where my mind was beyond it. But an external reading by others would dwell on what they saw, a teenager, growing up working class with a single mother, producing easy classifications that did not fit that interiority. In my mind I had analyzed it and thought how wrong they were”. She spent the first eleven years of her life in Grenada and moved to Barbados in 1965, the year before this society would become independent. On November 30, 2013, she was awarded the Gold Crown of Merit by the Government of Barbados, in celebration of its 47th Anniversary of Independence. Today we acknowledge another boundary crossing in the life of a remarkable Caribbean woman. Violet Eudine Barriteau is a Professor of Gender and Public Policy, two interrelated and complex areas of thought that define her expertise in the academy. The dualism in this professorial title represents her academic contribution to new knowledge, and the impact of her work in the public sphere. She has contributed significantly in this region to bringing gender out of its domestic confinement, breaking this glass ceiling of gender, not with explosives, but through evidence, with hard edged argued rationality.

    Inaugural Dame Nita Barrow Lecture Are Caribbean Women Taking Over? Contradictions for Women in Caribbean Society Toronto, December 1997 Violet Eudine Barriteau Director, Centre for Gender and Development Studies University of The West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados Dean Michael Fullan, Chair, Barbados' High Commissioner to Ottawa, Her Excellency June Clarke, Mr Errol Humphries, Mr Louis Tull, Dr Hall, Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, sisters and brothers from the Caribbean, good evening. I am very honoured and humbled to deliver the inaugural lecture of the Dame Nita Barrow Women In Development and Community Transformation Visitorship. On behalf of the University of The West Indies and the Centre for Gender and Development Studies I take this opportunity to congratulate OISE and the University of Toronto for establishing this Visitorship to honour the memory of Dame Nita. I hope our policy makers have noted your initiative and are in fact working on a significant and relevant means of honouring the regional and international public service of this remarkable, outstanding woman. I anticipate and look forward to this. Are Caribbean Women Taking Over? Let me say by Caribbean I refer to the countries of the Anglophone, Commonwealth Caribbean which share a similar historical, cultural, political and economic legacy even though there are varying expressions of that legacy within this grouping. With the topic of my lecture, "Are Caribbean Women Taking Over? Contradictions for Women in Caribbean Society” I draw your attention to the changing nature of gender relations in the Caribbean and what these changes mean for women. Sharp, polarized divisions now exist in the ways in which Caribbean people interpret these evolving relations.

    International Journal of Management & Information Systems – Fourth Quarter 2011 Volume 15, Number 4 History Of Search Engines Tom Seymour, Minot State University, USA Dean Frantsvog, Minot State University, USA Satheesh Kumar, Minot State University, USA ABSTRACT As the number of sites on the Web increased in the mid-to-late 90s, search engines started appearing to help people find information quickly. Search engines developed business models to finance their services, such as pay per click programs offered by Open Text in 1996 and then Goto.com in 1998. Goto.com later changed its name to Overture in 2001, and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, and now offers paid search opportunities for advertisers through Yahoo! Search Marketing. Google also began to offer advertisements on search results pages in 2000 through the Google Ad Words program. By 2007, pay-per-click programs proved to be primary money-makers for search engines. In a market dominated by Google, in 2009 Yahoo! and Microsoft announced the intention to forge an alliance. The Yahoo! & Microsoft Search Alliance eventually received approval from regulators in the US and Europe in February 2010. Search engine optimization consultants expanded their offerings to help businesses learn about and use the advertising opportunities offered by search engines, and new agencies focusing primarily upon marketing and advertising through search engines emerged. The term "Search Engine Marketing" was proposed by Danny Sullivan in 2001 to cover the spectrum of activities involved in performing SEO, managing paid listings at the search engines, submitting sites to directories, and developing online marketing strategies for businesses, organizations, and individuals.
