  • Annual Report Academic Year 2014-2015
    Annual Report Academic Year 2014-2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Last year’s 2013-2014 Berkman Center Annual Report outlined ideals to guide our work this academic year. Specifically, we sought to continue pioneering teaching and research with new, more sophisticated, and more integrative methodologies and partnerships. In the year that followed, the Center’s portfolio can be viewed in terms of three key areas of increased investment and attention that encompass these same goals. Since 1997, the Berkman Center has catalyzed dozens of projects and initiatives concerning the Internet in three areas of activity: 1) Law and Policy, 2) Education and Public Discourse, and 3) Access to Information. Updates and significant milestones related to each of these areas are described in the following sections of the Executive Summary. In additional to these three focal areas, the Berkman Center has continued to expand its collaboration across institutions and taken a leadership role in building a global research network through collaboration on projects and events. The Center also completed a rigorous revisioning and reimplementation of its organizational processes. Across and within the three areas of activity, platforms, privacy, and public discourse were at the core contexts of many of the Center’s activities in the past year, which were addressed and explored in its scholarship, technical innovations, collaborations, and communications. Platforms include the unowned Internet and World Wide Web itself along with organizations and companies that serve as conduits for online communications. Companies that offer network access (like ISPs) and online services (like cloud storage, email platforms, and social networks), and even government institutions that filter or moderate citizens’ access to content online, play a crucial role in intermediating online communications among individuals connected to the Internet.

  • Town of Pepperell 2018 Annual Report
    TOWN OF PEPPERELL 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Pepperell Town Report 2018 Dedication Diane Karr was born in Leominster, Massachusetts amid a large French Canadian extended family and grew up in Derby, Connecticut with three younger brothers, Andre, Henry and Paul. Diane met her husband Ron while she was attending college and Ron was pursuing his doctoral degree. Diane graduated Summa Cum Laude from Boston University with a Bachelor of Science Special Education degree. Diane and Ron were married in Connecticut, lived in Somerville as newlyweds, moved to Chicago for Ron’s career, and moved to Pepperell a few years later when Ron took a position at U Mass Lowell. In Pepperell, they purchased their first home and established roots in the community. Three children completed their family, Emilie, Matthew and Jeannine. Combining her education degree with her children’s interests, Diane was a frequent volunteer in her children’s classrooms in Peter Fitzpatrick and Varnum Brook schools. For many years she coached teams for the Odyssey of the Mind, an international problem solving organization, and brought her team to the world championship. Diane was a founding member and the first Correspondence Secretary at the Peter Fitzpatrick School Parent Teacher Support Group and was later elected President of the PFS PTSG. She created the PFS PTSG monthly newsletter and the “Watchdog Committee” for the purpose of attending school committee meetings and reporting relevant issues to the PTSG. Diane tackled every issue with passion and turned her duties on the Watchdog Committee into serving five years on the North Middlesex Regional School Committee as an elected school committee member.

  • After Brown: What Would Martin Luther King Say?♦
    LCB 12 3 ART1 MINOW.DOC 8/30/2008 1:53:41 PM AFTER BROWN: WHAT WOULD MARTIN LUTHER KING SAY?♦ by Martha Minow* The occasion of the first Martin Luther King Jr. Day Speech at Lewis and Clark Law School, following on the heels of the Supreme Court’s rejection of two voluntary racial school integration plans, warrants revisiting the conception of equality that called for school integration, the prospects for equal opportunity without education, and remaining arguments for integration. “Integration” here means more than terminating legally-enforced segregation, and more than sheer mixing of people with different races and identities in the same setting. As Dr. King described it, integration involves the creation of a community of relationships among people who view one another as valuable, who take pride in one another’s contributions, and who know that commonalities and synergies outweigh any extra efforts that bridging differences may require. Before the disillusionment accompanying the apparent failure of judicially-mandated school integration, integration was inseparable from access to opportunity as a goal of civil rights reformers from the nineteenth century through the middle of the twentieth. W.E.B. Du Bois and Martin Luther King, Jr. separately emphasized that racially separate instruction by teachers who believe in their students’ capacities would be better than racially-mixed instruction by teachers who disparaged African-American children—but integration would be still better. As even the good arguments for socioeconomic integration reveal, failure to pursue racial integration—including efforts to create truly inclusive communities of mutual respect—can recreate racial segregation through tracking, special education assignments, and students’ own divisions in lunch tables and cliques.
