West Chester University in Pennsylvania has recently launched The Women’s and Gender Studies Collection, a program dedicated to advancing the discipline of women’s and gender studies.
The new collection is a free, online resource for reliable information on race, gender, and sexuality. It is available to students, faculty, and staff interested in women’s and gender studies, as well as other educators and local community members.
Hosted by West Chester University’s department of women’s and gender studies and the Center for Women and Gender Equity, the collection was created by Lisa Huebner, professor of women’s and gender studies. The program was made possible through a $100,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation’s Affirming Multivocal Humanities initiative. The grant was awarded earlier this year and is the university’s first-ever Mellon Foundation grant.
The Women’s and Gender Studies Collection can be accessed here.
Although it was initially founded as school for women, the University of Montevallo has never had a woman president. Now the university has reached a historic milestone and selected selected Michelle R. Johnston to serve as its next president.
The women who are taking on new leadership roles with professional academic organizations are Yasmeen Shorish of James Madison University in Virginia, Elena Carbone of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Shelley Lusetti of New Mexico State University, Oona Hathaway of Yale Law School, and Keisha Blain of Brown University.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is a national program run by the University of California for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. Dr. Yelick, a computer scientist and longtime UC Berkeley faculty member, will become the laboratory's next director on July 1.
The selected candidate should have expertise and experience in theoretical models in labor and public economics as well as in microeconometrics and programming.
