No But” “No But”—Understanding Sally Jenkins’ Friction with Feminism Steve Master and Taylor Joy Mitchell In a conversation years ago with the late, legendary college bas ketball coach Pat Summitt, Washington Post sports columnist Sally Jenkins asked Summitt if she was a feminist (“To ‘Sum It Up”’). It seemed an odd question, considering Summitt’s unparalleled role in the rise of women’s athletics. Yet, for sports journalism schol ars, Jenkins’ question was compelling for another reason. What if Summitt had responded by asking, “Are you?” Much like Summitt, Jenkins has achieved success in an overwhelmingly male-dominat ed profession, and she has moved the needle forward for women in sports and, by extension, for women in general. Her visibility allows her to influence the way millions of readers understand gender issues in sports. -

Institute Expands Internship Opportunities Welcome to the Institute of Politics at Harvard University Jeanne Shaheen, Director
DECEMBER 2005 30 Years of Forums Archived New Frontier Awards Presented New Mayors Briefed George Magazine in the Forum New Survey Released U.S. Senator Barack Obama meets with 2005 IOP summer interns on the U.S. Capitol steps. Institute Expands Internship Opportunities Welcome to the Institute of Politics at Harvard University Jeanne Shaheen, Director After joining the Institute of Politics in July, I want you all to know how very appreciative I am to have this opportunity to serve as IOP Director. I am pleased to announce that the Institute will be receiving new University endowment funds this year. The funds will be used to expand our internship program, to create an initiative for development of leadership skills among undergraduate women, and to offer a scholarship to a SAC alumnus to attend the John F. Kennedy School of Government. This fall, Harvard students and IOP staff continued their work to foster politi- cal engagement on campus and in our community—below are highlights of some of our exciting programs: • After nearly thirty years of fantastic speeches and panels held in the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum, in early January we will launch a search- able video archive of Forum programs dating from 1978 which will be available on the IOP website. • At the end of November, we welcomed nearly 20 big city mayors from across the country for our Newly-Elected Mayors Program. The conference, co-hosted by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, helps new mayors take on the practical challenges of urban governance. • Our National Campaign hosted its fall conference, “Beyond Voting: College Students and Political Engagement,” focused on non-voting political engagement. -
Brave New Narratives: Postrace Identity and the African American Literary Tradition
ABSTRACT Title of Document: BRAVE NEW NARRATIVES: POSTRACE IDENTITY AND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LITERARY TRADITION Laura Camille Williams, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Professor Mary Helen Washington, Department of English This study examines late twentieth-century and millennial black middle-class fiction, often described as the New Black Aesthetic (NBA), as a vital and expansive aspect of literary studies and racial discourse. I focus on fictional depictions to analyze the narration of race in a so-called postrace era. The novels in my study have in common protagonists who are writers that resemble their NBA authors. As imagined writers creating narratives in texts, these protagonists show how narratives make race. Because they exhibit the unique position that the NBA occupies in a post- Civil Rights U.S., the protagonists featured here provide both counter-narratives and dominant narratives of race. The term “postrace” dominates current discourse about race in the U.S., often to imply a class arrival and an advance beyond racial constructs. I argue that NBA fiction characterizes the post-Civil Rights black middle class as not moving past race, but rather inexorably engaging and confronting race in tandem with gender, class, sexual orientation, and/or nationality. Black middle-class protagonists in NBA fiction occupy a transient social position in which they experience figurative returns to the past. I call these returns “postrace moments”—narrative moments that connect contemporary protagonists to collective memories and political histories of race and other forms of social identity. My introduction historicizes twentieth-century constructs of blackness and postraciality in African American literature. -

Democracy, Responsibility, & Civic Engagement
presents Democracy, Responsibility, & Civic Engagement Photo courtesy of The Glenn Institute Voices Against Indifference Initiative 2011-2012 Dear Teachers, As our country prepares for the 2012 national elections, we need informed, engaged, and responsible young people prepared to participate in the democratic process at this pivotal, historic moment. This year, United States citizens enter the election cycle urgently seeking change. Partisan entrenchment in public discourse has stagnated progress on major economic and social issues, breeding both anger and apathy. A new generation of compassionate, collaborative and creative leaders to reinvigorate civic life in America is our greatest hope. With Democracy, Responsibility, & Civic Engagement, The Echo Foundation provides a nonpartisan tool for: teaching about global democracies; researching politicians’ voting records; facilitating classroom activities; understanding the five key election issues; and more. We hope this curriculum guide is a catalyst for close examination of the privileges and accompanying responsibilities of United States citizenship; and that it inspires the next generation of young Americans to exercise their personal power to make a difference. TEF thanks you, the teachers, now and always, for your commitment to weaving lessons of social justice and dignity into your instruction each day. By creating informed, compassionate and responsible young people, you ensure that the leaders of tomorrow are prepared to create a more just and humane world. With best wishes for exciting adventures in learning, Stephanie G. Ansaldo, President The Echo Foundation Democracy, Responsibility, & Civic Engagement Photo courtesy of Empax.
