SPECIAL FEATURE: PRIDE, PREJUDICE, AND THE PATRIARCHY

Written by MAX L. CHAPNICK Posted June 28, 2018 Filed Under: FEATURES, Non-fiction

Brown is retiring this year, and the university she leaves is very different from the one of her tenure suit that began more than 30 years ago. But while much has changed, Brown’s story contains a certain timelessness, particularly in the current struggle by women against institutions traditionally dominated by men. Like an Austen novel, Brown’s battle forces a reckoning with the type of sexism society tries to hide from itself. As Brown says, “Making the people who had done this have to defend themselves and be accountable, that was worth it.”

GUEST OPINION: IT’S TIME TO CONFRONT THE POWER IMBALANCE AT EMERSON

Written by ANNA FEDER Posted April 5, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Editorial

"Emerson has an opportunity to lead on issues of gender equity through a good first contract. Unfortunately, the administration is insisting on a compensation plan that still includes merit pay as a significant portion of possible raises, doled out at the discretion of a supervisor."
