Ruby Roy Dholakia: An Intercontinental Academic Journey - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Certain turns in life offer great opportunities for reflection and reminiscing. In December 2017, Ruby Roy Dholakia retired after 36 years of teaching, research and service at the University of Rhode Island (URI). The December 2017 farewell event was one such important turn in life. For Ruby Roy Dholakia, the long URI innings came after several other intense and enjoyable academic experiences: undergraduate and MBA studies at the Haas School, University of California, Berkeley; faculty positions at Indian Institutes of Management in Calcutta and Ahmedabad (IIMC and IIMA); and doctoral work at Kellogg School, Northwestern University. In this 10-chapter book, published on the occasion of Ruby Roy Dholakia's retirement at URI, we reached out to multiple connections -- family, friends, mentors, students -- to provide their memories. In each chapter, besides these wonderful reminiscences and selected photos. we also provide short introductory sections to describe the context of Ruby's life at that particular stage. With this book, we hope the readers will have a vicarious way to trace Ruby's intellectual journey. For those who knew Ruby well and interacted at one phase of her life, this book may provide windows into other phases of her life that they may not know as well. No book of this nature can be comprehensive in scope and exhaustive in its coverage. We also hope that some will be inspired to add comments and insights that this book was unable to tap into.
