Congratulations Class of 2013!

Congratulations to the Class of 2013 on the completion of Senior Capstone Presentations in Gender and Sexuality Studies on April 29, 2013.

The Pembroke Center’s two complementary archives – the Christine Dunlap Farnham Archive and the Feminist Theory Archive – explore Brown and Rhode Island women’s history and the intellectual history of feminist theory.  The Center is pleased to announce a campaign to build an endowment to support these archives with enhanced resources to grow the collections and increase their accessibility for teaching and research.  Thanks to a leadership gift of $1 million from Pembroke Center Associates Council chair Nancy L. Buc’65 – and increasing support from alumnae/i and friends – the Center is well on its way.

Congratulations to Amber J. Musser, who has accepted the position of Assistant Professor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington in St. Louis.  Musser is currently the Nancy L. Buc Postdoctoral Fellow at the Pembroke Center.  Musser's book, Sensational Flesh: Race, Power, and Masochism, is under contract with New York University Press.  We wish her well in her new position and thank her for her outstanding contributions to this year's Pembroke Seminar.

Kathryn Davis'12  discusses her experience as a Gender and Sexuality Studies concentrator and how what she learned in the concentration was instrumental to her successful job search.

The Pembroke Center is pleased to share the news that Meredith A. Bak, this year's Artemis A.W. and Martha Joukowsky Postdoctoral Fellow has accepted the position of Visiting Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  We wish her the best of luck and thank her for her excellent contributions to this year's Pembroke Seminar.

Congratulations to Nadine Boljkovac, this year's Carol G. Lederer Postdoctoral Fellow, on her book Untimely Affects: Gilles Deleuze and an Ethics of Cinema, forthcoming from Edinburgh University Press this spring.

Untimely Affects is an ethical and aesthetic interweaving of Deleuzian philosophy and close film analysis to discern how thought persists productively after the horrors of World War II.
