Pembroke Center Faculty Advisory Board 2011-2012
Announcing the Pembroke Center Expanded Faculty Advisory Board
In September 2011, we expanded the Pembroke Center’s faculty board so that it represents a wider range of disciplines and includes junior faculty. Our membership now incorporates faculty from the humanities, creative arts, and social sciences as well as from science, health, and technology studies. We are very excited with this expanded profile and the generosity of everyone who has joined this effort. We will be convening meetings of the board as needed (usually once or twice a semester) to discuss our activities, research initiatives, and aspirations. The board solicits and provides feedback on faculty proposals for Pembroke Advanced Research Seminars, and serves as a sounding board for future planning. It plays an important role in faculty searches and meetings with external review committees.
