Letter
from the Editor
Happy 2003 All
~
I hope this installment
of the DivisioNews finds you well. The 2002
ASC Annual Meeting in Chicago was a wonderful
opportunity to meet so many of you face-to-face
and reconnect with friends and colleagues. Often
I find that ASC, with all the commotion of panel
presentations and business meetings, is a hurried
rush with little opportunity for reflection
or meaningful connection with others. The DWC
meetings and social gatherings, however, were
the exception. I recall walking out of the DWC
breakfast Friday morning of the conference with
a colleague, feeling rejuvenated and so thankful
for the amazing support, dialogue, and activism
within the Division. It was simply wonderful.
Joanne Belknap deserves special recognition
and thanks for her tireless work and leading
our brood at 0-dark hundred (or as Joanne notes,
the "ungoddessly hour") for the breakfasts.
Thanks to all who
volunteered to assist with the DWC events and
tables. I also wanted to extend appreciation
to those of you who participated in the Networking
Survey listed in the last issue of the newsletter.
Please
join me in welcoming Jeanne Flavin as our newest
member of the DWC DivisioNews crew! Jeanne will
be serving as the editor of the "Ask a
Tenured Professor" column. If you would
like to contribute any questions to the column
or would like to offer advice and responses,
please contact Jeanne at jflavin@fordham.edu.
This
issue is filled with news around the Division,
valuable guidance regarding the tenure-seeking
process, and a comprehensive "must read"
list for graduate students. There are new insightful
profiles of five DWC members: Kimberly J. Cook,
Deborah Burris-Kitchen, Ruth Fleury-Steiner,
Venessa Garcia, and Jeanne Flavin. We round
out the Winter 2003 edition with Irene Froyland's
book review of The Invisible Woman by Joanne
Belknap.
Many
thanks go to the numerous contributors to this
edition of the newsletter. They include: Patti
Adler, Fran Bernat, William Blount, John Conley,
