Judy Gruber
Judy Gruber was born in
by her husband, Joseph Houska, and her two teenage sons,
David and Aaron.
She was chair of
She was instrumental in setting up two child-care centers and
initiating a third. She worked to establish a policy that allows all professors
to take parental leave. She
also started a program to counsel those with a
sick partner or parent. She was also responsible for the campus publication " A Guide for Balancing Work and Family."
Professor Gruber was awarded the
university's highest honor, the Berkeley Citation, and was also the first to
receive the university's Faculty Distinguished Service Award for her work on
campus. Her successor as chair said she "made
the department and Berkeley a better and special place. She
was universally adored by her students for her dedication and commitment;
widely admired
as an administrator by her colleagues because of her deep
sense of fairness, and the policies she initiated made life better for all on
campus."
Donations in her honor may be
made to the Early Childhood Education Program Annual Fund at 203 Sproul Hall,
UCBerkeley,
--------------------
Note - Members of the Bay Area Women in Political Science remember
Judy's courage during her own tenure fight. Professor Ruth
Collier - Judy's
colleague in the department - spoke movingly at the
memorial service about
how inspirational and supportive Judy was to women professors
and how much
she contributed to improving the status of women at

Women's Caucus for Political Science APSA Pre-Conference,
Wednesday, August 31.
Over the past 35 years, Women’s Caucus
members have sought to address difficulties associated with the APSA annual
meeting, which make it a challenging space for many young (and not so young) scholars,
especially women. First, the meetings are so big (typically more than 6000
participants)that they are often alienating. Second,
young scholars may know very few people in the discipline and the sheer size of
the APSA meeting can make it difficult to meet scholars with related interests.
Third, the short sessions (1 hour and 45 minutes) and the distribution of
panels over four days may preclude sustained discussion of topics.
In an effort to remedy these difficulties and
help build intellectual community across the discipline's subfields, the
Women's Caucus is organizing a preconference in conjunction with the 2005 APSA
Meeting in
