Because even if “the Man” does represent “the Patriarchy and hegemonic systems of power,” as the invitation said, this tendency to cast women as opposed to “the Man,” instead of having an identity in her own right, only furthers perception of the Man as primary and women as secondary. When women are wholly sure of ourselves, we will not need a women’s center, because we will recognize that the Science Center and the Barker Center are just as much ours...
...late 2004, when management guru Tom Peters cast off the consulting and training company that bore his name, the folks left behind were pretty scared. Yet the partners of the renamed Bluepoint Leadership Development say that they are better managed without the world-famous management consultant and author of In Search of Excellence and Re-imagine! than with him: higher revenues, doubled profitability, loyalty from old clients and a roster of new ones like Starbucks, DHL and GE.

Each of the four adult children copes with the mother’s death differently...

Seeing how our set person responded to the script.” Benjamin explains that the experience of casting the show was appropriately unique. While some actors came from the Common Casting process, some were drawn from other sources. Alasdair R. Wilkins ’10 heard about the show through his participation in an improvisational troupe, the Immediate Gratification Players. Like Guha, Wilkins was drawn to Benjamin?...
