    CHIPS 1 SM Winter 2011 Celebrating 2011! President’s Letter Dear Members, Since the last Newsletter there have been many developments in the growth of The Skating Club of Boston, its programs and skaters. We have been awarded a three year contract by the City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department to manage the Boston Common Frog Pond. We have been in the process of evaluating the Frog Pond operation since opening day in order that this facility, as an outreach of The Skating Club of Boston, is operated to our standards. To that end, changes have been made in the management structure to better achieve those goals. In November 2010 we hired an Executive Director to facilitate the Management of the club programs and at this time we have accom- plished a great deal with his assistance. Doug Zeghibe, Executive Director, has implemented the changes necessary at Frog Pond, met the Executive Committee and Board of Governors, had meetings with the many programs and event Chairs with great success and enthusi- asm. We are developing a management structure for the club that will in the final configuration serve the membership better, facilitate the growth of our programs and allow for the long term success of The Skating Club of Boston. Skating Club performers help Boston revelers to celebrate the New Year with A Our skaters have had a very productive year First Night skate at the Frog Pond (photo by Jarshen Lin) and are to be congratulated for a job well done.

  • 2018 Sabbatical Research Newsletter
    Brown Sabbatical Research Newsletter 2018 Foreword This is the sixth edition of the annual Brown Sabbatical Research Newsletter published by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty. Its main focus is on the research by Brown faculty that has been made possible during the past academic year by our sabbatical program (also included are some reports on non-sabbatical research). The word sabbatical derives from the Hebrew verb shabath meaning “to rest.” In keeping with the ancient Judeo-Christian concept the academic sabbatical designates a time, not of simple inactivity, but of the restorative intellectual activity of scholarship and research. Brown instituted the sabbatical leave in 1891, 11 years after Harvard had become the first university in the United States to introduce a system of paid research leaves (Brown was the fifth institution in the nation to adopt such a program, following Harvard, Cornell, Wellesley, and Columbia). As these dates suggest, the concept of the sabbatical emerged out of the establishment of the modern research university in America during the second half of the 19th century. A 1907 report by a Committee of the Trustees of Columbia University underlines the fundamental principle on which this innovation was based: “the practice now prevalent in Colleges and Universities of this country of granting periodic leaves of absence to their professors was established not in the interests of the professors themselves but for the good of university education” (cited in Eells, 253). Thus the restorative action of the sabbatical was understood to affect primarily not individual faculty members but the university as an intellectual community and an educational institution.

Simmons and a scholarly conference. We explored the Center’s history of offering postdoctoral fellowships to young scholars from the humanities and social sciences, many of whom have become leading researchers in their fields. We also reaf- firmed our historical ties to Pembroke College in Brown University and the continuing strong support the Center receives from its Pembroke and Brown alumnae. During our anniversary celebration, it was rewarding to hear from so many in the Brown community – faculty, students, alumnae/i, parents, and friends – about their appreciation of the Pembroke Center’s history and our research, teaching, and archival programs as they have evolved over the decades. The Pembroke Center also has been honored with striking accolades outside of the Brown community. Upon selecting the Center for its Lifetime Achievement Award, the National Council for Research on Women praised the Pembroke Center’s “thirty years of cutting-edge research that has had a lasting impact on Women’s and Gender Studies.” This national recognition reflects the Center’s long and continued engagement with scholars from around the world and enduring impact on academic research in many fields.
