brown university

Beginning with her service as presidentof the Student Government Associa-

tion at Pembroke College and continuingto the present day, Nancy L. Buc’65,LLD’94 hon. has made a lasting impacton Brown University and the PembrokeCenter for Teaching and Research onWomen. At a reception this fall duringCorporation Weekend, ChancellorThomas Tisch ’76, members of the Cor-poration, and scores of alumnae/i andPembroke Center supporters publicly rec-ognized her extraordinary leadership andgenerosity.

Buc served as a member of theBrown Corporation for over 20 years;she was an Alumnae Trustee from1973 to 1978, a Fellow from 1980 to1992, and a Trustee again from 1998

to 2004. During her terms on theCorporation, she served on the presi-dential search committees thatbrought Howard Swearer, VartanGregorian, and Ruth Simmons to theUniversity. She is the recipient of aBrown Bear Award and an honoraryDoctor of Laws degree.

At the reception, Trustee EmeritaMarie Langlois’64, LLD’92 hon.spoke of Buc’s role as an institu-tion builder of the Pembroke Center and of the crucial impor-tance of her early support to theCenter’s growth. Langlois notedthat Buc asks tough questions –often the questions others wouldnot dare to ask – and encouragedBuc never to stop.

Buc endowed the Nancy L. Buc Post-doctoral Fellowship in 1994, whichhas provided essential support toyoung scholars at a critical time intheir careers. Each fellow has had anopportunity to spend a year at thePembroke Center, participate in thePembroke Seminar, and further hisor her research. In turn, Brown stu-dents and faculty have benefited fromeach postdoctoral fellow’s contribu-tions to the scholarly work of thePembroke Center. In addition to theendowed postdoctoral fellowship andgenerous gifts over the years, Bucrecently announced a major gift inthe form of a bequest for the Pem-broke Center’s endowment.

Anita Spivey ’74, P’09 Brown Trusteeand past Chair of the Pembroke Cen-ter Associates Council, explained thatNancy’s enthusiasm for the Pem-broke Center comes from the factthat the Center’s research gets at thevery heart of the issues of differencefundamental to contemporary U.S.society. Looking at the nation’s presi-dential race, Spivey observed that onecould not help but notice the front-burner issues of gender, race, ethnic-ity, and religion—the very issues with

Louise Lamphere, DistinguishedProfessor of Anthropology at the

University of New Mexico and formermember of the Brown Anthropologydepartment, has made a major gift toBrown University to endow a visitingassistant professorship in genderstudies. This gift is extraordinary inits generosity and its historical signif-icance. In 1974, Louise Lampherebrought a class action sex discrimina-tion suit against Brown University. In 1977, that suit was settled by aconsent decree that mandated goalsand a timetable for the hiring andtenuring of women.

Having received her undergraduatedegree at Stanford and her Ph.D. atHarvard, Lamphere joined the BrownAnthropology faculty as an assistantprofessor in 1968. Her tenure denialin 1974 led to the class action suit andto the revelation of systemic discrimi-nation against women scholars. Atthe time the consent decree wassigned, there were 6 tenured womenfaculty at Brown compared to 334tenured men, while 40 non-tenuredwomen (many of whom were in non-tenure-track positions) to 84 non-tenured men. Today there are 134

tenured women faculty to 352 tenuredmen, and 95 non-tenured women fac-ulty to 108 non-tenured men.Although the Lamphere suit was oneof the few successful sex discrimina-tion cases in the country, it had anenormous impact on institutionsnationally. Brown was by no meansthe only institution in which womenfaculty were at a disadvantage; the sys-temic undervaluing of women schol-ars and discrimination againstwomen in hiring and tenuring wereubiquitous. The Lamphere suitopened people’s eyes to these prac-tices. At Brown, the consent decreemade a huge difference for women,but not only for women given that itresulted in transparent guidelines forhiring, promotion, and tenure thatbenefit all faculty.

The Lamphere Visiting Professorshipin Gender Studies will continue theimportant work that Louise Lam-phere began more than three decadesago. We look forward with pleasureand excitement to the contributionsthat the scholars who hold the Lam-phere position will make to Brownand to the larger academy.

On October 17, Brown Universityrededicated Pembroke Hall after a

significant restoration and renovationproject costing $9 million. Now hometo both the Pembroke Center forTeaching and Research on Womenand the Cogut Center for the Humani-ties, Pembroke Hall provides flexiblework, meeting, and teaching spacesand has quickly become a hub of inter-disciplinary research on campus.

Toshiko Mori P’05 was the architectfor the renovation, which brings aluminous contemporary designtogether with the historic character ofthe building, maximizing naturallight within, incorporating energyefficiency, and providing welcomingspaces for the two academic centers.The renovation included a restorationof the building’s façade, the secondfloor classroom that contains theoriginal frieze created by Providencesculptor Hippolyte L. Hubert, and thethird floor, which used to house thePembroke College library and fea-tures two beautiful fireplaces.

Pembroke Hall holds particular sig-nificance for many alumnae/ibecause of its special place inBrown’s history. The Corporation ofBrown University agreed to allowwomen to stand for a degree in 1891.

By 1895, the rented building on Ben-efit Street in which women studentsreceived instruction had become seri-ously overcrowded. Sarah E. Doyleand fellow advocates for the Women’s

College appealed to the Brown Cor-poration for funds to construct arecitation hall. When their requestwas denied, they formed their owncollege fund committee to raisemoney for a building. In 1896, thegroup incorporated and became theRhode Island Society for the Colle-giate Education of Women. Theycompleted fundraising to erect Pem-broke Hall, which was dedicated onNovember 22, 1897.

President Ruth Simmons and Chan-cellor Thomas Tisch presided overthe rededication ceremony, held inAlumnae Hall Auditorium. A videoabout Pembroke Hall showcased themany renovations and featured inter-views with Pembroke Center DirectorElizabeth Weed and Cogut Center forthe Humanities Director MichaelSteinberg. Chancellor Tisch notedhow proud he was that Brown Uni-versity was furthering the legacy ofPembroke College with a renovationof Pembroke Hall that celebratesboth past and present.

President Ruth J. Simmons notedthat because of its unique history,Pembroke Hall is a potent symbol ofaccess to education for anyone whowants to engage in learning. Sim-mons added that both centersembody Pembroke College’s traditionof excellence and that they will utilizethe refurbished building to furtherscholarly activities that broadeninquiry across the disciplines.

The Pembroke Center for Teachingand Research on Women was namedin honor of Pembroke College inBrown University and honors thoseearly women who fought to gainaccess to higher education and whoraised the money to build PembrokeHall. It is of particular significancethat the Pembroke Center is nowbased in Pembroke Hall, a spacebefitting its unique mission and itsinternationally renowned research.

During a visit to China this summer, the Pembroke Cen-ter for Teaching and Research on Women, the Cogut

Center for the Humanities, and the East Asian StudiesDepartment entered into an exciting partnership agreementwith the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanitiesand Social Sciences at Nanjing University. The joint focuson gender studies and the humanities is informed by strongcurrent motivations in Chinese intellectual life related toconstructions of citizenship in the successive periods fromthe advent of socialism to the Cultural Revolution to the cur-rent era of reform and globalization.

While in Nanjing this summer, Pembroke Center directorElizabeth Weed, along with five other Brown faculty and aMellon postdoctoral fellow, participated in a colloquiumwith Nanjing faculty on current research and directions ingender studies and the humanities. The symposium wasfollowed by a major international conference on Genderand Chinese Cinema, attended by some 100 scholarsfrom China and abroad, including a group of China’sbestknown women film directors.

Lingzhen Wang, Associate Professor of East Asian Studiesat Brown and a graduate of Nanjing University, serves asdirector of the project. Along with Elizabeth Weed, CogutHumanities Center director Michael Steinberg and EastAsian Studies chair Kerry Smith serve on the project’ssteering committee. The international partnership looksforward to many exciting ventures, including furtherexchanges of faculty and students, publications in Chi-nese and English, joint conferences, and possible degreeprograms. Professor He Chengzhou, Associate Director ofNanjing’s Institute for Advanced Study, will be in resi-dence at Brown for several weeks this spring, and in2009-10, Brown will welcome a delegation of scholarsfrom Nanjing for further discussions of the Joint Projecton Gender Studies and the Humanities in conjunctionwith a meeting at Brown of the Consortium of Humani-ties Centers and Institutes.

Chancellor Tisch remarked that Bucwas one of the youngest alumnae/i toserve on the Corporation, relative toher graduation year. He praised Buc

for her capacity to challenge andinstill pride, and for her passion. Henoted that certain people say they are“ever true to Brown,” but for Buc,these words are not just a schoolsong but also a tribute to who she is.

At the rededication ceremony forPembroke Hall the preceding day,President Ruth J. Simmons paid spe-cial attention to Buc’s impact on theUniversity, noting that she is the con-science of the Corporation for mat-ters of equity, access, and equality.

In her own remarks, Buc paid tributeto two alumnae and friends whomshe met while an undergraduate andlater served with on the Corporation– Sophie Blistein’41, GP’01 and RuthHarris Wolf ’41, LLD’81 hon., P’68,P’75. She praised them for helpingto raise funds for the Nancy DukeLewis Chair and for their roles inhelping to develop and found thePembroke Center.

As a part of the Boldly Brown Campaign for Academic Enrichment, the Pembroke Center is grateful to receive gener-ous support from alumnae/i and friends to benefit the Pembroke Center endowment and other priorities to help

the Center strengthen its research and teaching programs. The list that follows represents all pledges and bequestsmade since the inception of the Campaign. It does not include Pembroke Center Associates membership gifts, whichare listed separately by fiscal year (see page 6).

The Pembroke Center has established the Elizabeth Weed Feminist Theory Collection to pay tribute to Weed’s leadership of theCenter since its founding in 1981. This collection is a major academic resource that makes the work of leading feminist

thinkers accessible to researchers. By consolidating, organizing, and digitizing the papers of scholars and critics who have trans-formed their disciplines as well as the field of feminist theory, the Pembroke Center is preserving a crucial body of work thatchanged the intellectual landscape of universities in the United States and internationally. Recognizing the need for such a col-lection, prominent feminist scholars from around the world have made generous contributions to a fund to support the collec-tion and honor Elizabeth Weed. We are pleased to acknowledge their generosity.

Please contact Christy Law Blanchard at Christy_Law_Blanchard@brown.edu or byphoning (401) 863-3650 if you have any questions about this list.
