...misleading. The book seems to explore the difficulty in translating a traditional Indian upbringing to a modern Western life. However, A New World does not substantively explore Indian emigrant Jayojit Chatterjee's struggle to conquer life in his new world, the world of an American academic in the Midwest. Instead, the novel is a celebration of the old world Jayojit has left behind. A New World traces Jayojit's longings for the old world of his parents' home in Calcutta, longings that seem to surprise even Jayojit himself...

Yet these initial elections based on objective criteria for eligibility serve as a good model for the future...
...losing Schor and Benhabib, the University loses two of its most distinguished female professors, the directors of two of its most unique degree granting programs and two of its most vocal proponents of gender equity in academia. Already abysmally small, the community of female Faculty members cannot afford diminution instead of growth. If Harvard is to make good on its promises of opening the traditionally male-dominated world of academia to the contributions of women, it must more actively recruit and more stridently work to retain female faculty members...
