  Abstract Background Frailty is a multidimensional syndrome, which can lead to poorer health outcome. Frailty score is a proven reliable indicator of post-operative morbidity and mortality; however, its application in clinical practice is limited. Aim The study aimed to assess the association between frailty marker and one- year mortality rate and explore its impact in clinical decision making in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. Method Consecutive patients with abdominal, thoracic, and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms presented at dedicated aortic clinic between July 2019 and April 2020 were included. Markers for frailty and sarcopenia using Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale, SARC-F questionnaire, morphometric analysis for sarcopenia, one-year mortality and fitness were recorded. Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) was blinded to frailty and sarcopenia data; surgical decisions made by MDT were recorded separately. Results We assessed 83 patients (median age 75 [72,82], 85% male; median aneurysm diameter 6cm [5.8,7.0]. Sixteen patients were deemed frail, five patients had sarcopenia and thirty-one patients had myopenia. Seventeen patients were deemed not fit for surgery; 41% of these were frail compared with 14% out of those who were deemed fit. The odds ratio of being frail and unfit for surgery was 4.33 (95% CI 1.27–14.82, p = 0.010). Frailty was significantly associated with one-year mortality irrespective of fitness for surgery, sarcopenia and myopenia (OR 10.28, 95%CI 1.82–57.93, p = 0.009). SARC-F and myopenia was not associated with one-year mortality at (OR 1.66, 95%CI 0.03–19.25, p = 0.523) and (OR 0.59, 95%CI 0.09–2.85, p = 0.514), respectively. Conclusions Frailty score was associated with both one-year mortality and fitness for surgery decision made by MDT.

Woodson, The Journal of African American History (JAAH) habitually publishes in memoriams recognizing and honoring those who have passed away and contributed not only to ASALH but also to the black historical enterprise more broadly. To borrow from Sir Isaac Newton’s popular notion of “standing on the shoulders of giants” and proverbs from numerous African cultures (e.g., “If we stand tall it is because we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors”), it is indisputable that the current advanced state of the black historical profession and African American historiography is the byproduct of—and is indebted to—the toil, service, and contributions of those who selflessly labored in the field for generations, dating back to the trying times of antebellum-era writers of black history. Dr. Rosalyn Terborg-Penn (1941–2018) is certainly among the trailblazing figures who profoundly shaped the black historical profession and the evolution of African American women’s history during her lifetime (fig. 1).Figure 1.

Beginning early in 2019, she did the necessary legwork, assembling the authors whose reflections are showcased here. After learning of Dr. Terborg-Penn’s death in late December 2018 (which was befittingly acknowledged in an obituary in the New York Times in early January 2019), we originally aspired to include an in memoriam in the Spring 2019 issue of JAAH that was published in May.1 We soon realized, however, that in order to afford Dr. Terborg-Penn’s legacy the attention that it deserves, we needed to wait until the Summer 2019 issue.The following brief essays are tributes to and remembrances of Dr. Terborg-Penn written by a group of scholars and historians who knew her personally. Author of the award-winning African American Women in the Struggle for the Vote, 1850–1920 (1998) and coeditor of several important anthologies on black women’s history, including the paradigm-shifting The Afro-American Woman: Struggles and Images (1978), Women in Africa and the African Diaspora: A Reader (1987), and the first-of-its-kind, wide-ranging, two-volume Black Women in America: An Historical Encyclopedia (1993), Dr. Terborg-Penn earned a PhD from Howard University in United States history in 1977 and was a longtime professor of history at Morgan State University (she began teaching at Morgan State during the formative years of the Black Power era and routinely taught four courses per semester there while working on her dissertation!).2Cofounder of the Association of Black Women Historians (ABWH) and the organization’s first national director, Dr. Terborg-Penn was a leading scholar in the fields of African American women’s history, black women’s studies, what she called “African Diaspora women’s history,” and African American history. During her remarkable, nontraditional, and counter-mainstream career, she contributed to various phases of the development of the black historical profession (with others she was a pioneer in African American women’s history) and also mentored numerous generations of undergraduate and graduate students as well as younger scholars and historians. Over the years, she inspired, taught, advised, and collaborated with many who continue to uphold her legacy. Just as Elsie Lewis, whom she affectionately called “her first black professor,” did for her, Terborg-Penn “opened a new world” to her students and those who were blessed to know her and work with her.3 Throughout her career, Dr. Terborg-Penn tenaciously shared her authentic and frank appraisals about black women’s history—past, present, and future—and African American history more generally.For those who are not as familiar with Dr. Terborg-Penn’s fascinating career trajectory, I strongly suggest that they revisit her candid and self-reflective essay in the wonderful anthology Telling Histories: Black Women Historians in the Ivory Tower edited by Deborah Gray White. “Relying on my memory—as well as a few published pieces that address aspects of my life as either a student or scholar—I bring to you my story,” Dr. Terborg-Penn writes in the opening of her essay fittingly titled “Being and Thinking Outside of the Box: A Black Woman’s Experience in Academia.” She continues, “It is based on my over forty years as a student, a faculty member, or a scholar in higher education. My memories reflect interactions with peers, as well as interactions with the stalwarts who guard the doors of the ivory tower.”4 In this revealing personal history, Dr. Terborg-Penn highlights the three major stages of her “development as an academic” as well as her nuanced practicing of the historian’s craft; her commitment to the missions of historically black colleges and universities; her life as a budding scholar-activist during the modern Civil Rights Movement (she was a member of the campus NAACP chapter at Queens College and the DC Students for Civil Rights); her experiences at Morgan State University, particularly in the Department of History, Political Science, and Geography—of this work, she reflects, “Working at Morgan State was a dream come true because I did not have to convince my colleagues that teaching and researching black life was worthwhile”—and her work “in the trenches” of black women’s history beginning when she was a graduate student.5The concluding remarks of Dr. Terborg-Penn’s “Being and Thinking Outside of the Box” is an appropriate way to end my remarks. Approximately a decade ago, she reflected:As I entered the twenty-first century as a scholar who remained at a historically black university, I had spent thirty years teaching primarily black students and interacting with ivory tower doorkeepers in professional associations. My name was recognized in many professional circles. However, aside from my work at my university and the primarily black professional associations, I seemed to remain outside of the box in being and in thinking.6May the soul of our dearly departed Dr. Rosalyn Terborg-Penn rest in peace and may we find inspiration from her life’s work.

BraceyUniversity of Massachusetts–AmherstThroughout the half century that I have known Rosalyn Terborg-Penn, she remained “old school” in the best meanings of that term. Rosalyn dedicated her life to the study of the history of black women and to the teaching of black students. Rosalyn was not one to engage in ideological debates or to take up the intellectual fad of the moment. Rosalyn understood that the task of the historian was to define the historical question of interest, then head to the library or archive to identify and read the relevant books and documents. A conclusion not backed by evidence was just an opinion.Rosalyn was one of that remarkable group of scholars who laid the foundation for the modern study of black women in the United States and beyond. Too many of the current generation take for granted a world in which it is no longer necessary to argue that black women had a significant role in world history. Scholars who now can focus on the specifics and importance of that role owe a debt to Rosalyn Terborg-Penn.Before any student of mine proposes a research project on the history of black women, I send them to the pioneering anthologies coedited by Rosalyn with Sharon Harley and with Sharon and Andrea Rushing. You can pursue your idea but acknowledge that it might not be as new as you thought. Rosalyn contributed substantially to Darlene Clark Hine’s monumental Black Women in America: An Historical Encyclopedia, a treasure trove of research topics which have only begun to be mined. Rosalyn’s achievements might not be flashy or provocative, but they are indispensable to the field of black women’s history.Rosalyn’s Columbia Guide to African American History, coedited with Robert L. Harris Jr., has been a lifesaver for me when I wanted to check a fact or date, or get the essence of a group or event, five minutes before class. Rosalyn knew the history of black women very well. This work demonstrated that she knew much of the broad field of African American history equally well.Rosalyn Terborg-Penn retained her “old school” allegiance to the education of black students in places where their right to exist and their talents and dreams were not mocked or denied. Those of us who teach at predominantly white institutions spend a lot of time and energy trying to recruit more students of color into our schools and classes. Rosalyn, like her mentor Benjamin Quarles, left that fight to others. The students we sought filled the seats in front of her when she walked into her classrooms.To be successful at institutions that may have better resources or provide broader opportunities, you have to be ready. Being taught and mentored by Rosalyn Terborg-Penn at Morgan State University enabled many of her students to meet the challenges they faced head on. This aspect of Rosalyn’s life and work should not be ignored and is worthy of the highest praise.Rosalyn, like a lot of us “old heads,” attended meetings of the American Historical Association, the Organization of American Historians, the Southern Historical Association, the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians, and so on. But, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) was her home. ASALH will go on, but the presence of Rosalyn Terborg-Penn surely will be missed greatly.Erica Armstrong DunbarRutgers University and Association of Black Women HistoriansIn December 2018, more than 150 historians came together to participate in “Our Foremothers’ Keepers: The Art and Practice of Black Women’s History.” This two-day symposium was sponsored by the Association of Black Women Historians (ABWH), an organization now forty years old that continues to serve as the only professional organization designed to recognize and celebrate women of African descent who are historians or students of history. Although it was the end of the semester, and many of us were weary, we caught planes and trains to find our way to Southern California. For many of us, an ABWH symposium or annual luncheon is akin to a trip to Mecca. We stop what we are doing, pack our bags, and travel to an environment where we know we will connect with other historians, archivists, librarians, and educators who are committed to the work of black women’s history. These meetings are spiritual, social, and scholarly and often provide the fuel needed to move through another academic year.Seated among the participants was Dr. Rosalyn Terborg-Penn. Scholar, teacher, mentor, and activist, Dr. Terborg-Penn was a cofounder of ABWH and remained one of its most dedicated supporters. She had risen to superstar status among the membership, with everyone looking forward to her witty commentary during roundtable discussions and provocative inquiries during question and answer sessions. True to form, Dr. Terborg-Penn’s presence was felt and heard by all of the 2018 symposium attendees. She was delighted to be surrounded by her ABWH sisters and made it a priority to speak to and encourage younger scholars whose names she did not know. None of us imagined that this would be Dr. Terborg-Penn’s last ABWH event.There are very few people who lead by example. Within the academy we often find scholars who choose to emphasize one area of their careers. Some scholars choose to publish, while others choose to teach and mentor students. Dr. Terborg-Penn served as a model to all of her ABWH sisters, reminding us that as scholars we can and must do both. In her long career, Dr. Terborg-Penn walked into spaces inside and outside of the academy and produced transformation. In 1977, she believed that an organization for black women historians needed to exist, so she helped create one. At Morgan State University where she taught for more than three decades, she helped to create the first PhD program in the department of history. Her scholarly books and essays helped shape the field of black women’s history when there was no such field. As we approach the 100th anniversary of national women’s suffrage, I know that Dr. Terborg-Penn’s groundbreaking text African American Women in the Struggle for the Vote, 1850–1920 will be called upon to help us think about the past, the present, and the future.Dr. Rosalyn Terborg-Penn left us with so many gifts. Her unyielding love for black women and our history is a legacy that we will respect, nurture, and honor.Debra Newman HamMorgan State UniversityFriends and colleagues called her Roz. Professor Rosalyn Terborg-Penn was devoted to the historian’s craft. I knew her for over forty-five years and worked with her at Morgan State University for more than a decade. We met in Howard University’s department of history in the early 1970s and took several classes together. The department chair then, Dr. Lorraine Williams, had received a Ford Foundation Grant and was determined to recruit faculty and graduate students who were pursuing new fields of research and using innovative historical methods. Future scholars such as Roz, Sharon Harley, Bernice Johnson Reagon, John Fleming, James Early and Elizabeth Clark-Lewis were members of this group of historical pioneers.Roz was already teaching at Morgan before she began her doctoral work. Encouraged by renowned professor Benjamin Quarles, she gravitated toward women’s history. A former Women’s Army Corps officer, Dr. Martha Putney, was chair of Roz’s dissertation committee; the dissertation concerned the role of African American women in the suffrage movement. Roz complained that with Dr. Putney chapter was produced in a Roz in In the Roz also to by with Dr. Sharon Harley, the pioneering scholarly work Afro-American Women: Struggles and a I learned that Roz was dedicated to Morgan State University, in her research and in her of books and articles.

  In this chapter I shall explore the Pan-Africanist work in the US and abroad of leftist, working-class African American activist Audley ‘Queen Mother’ Moore. I first met Moore at the 1970 ‘Atlanta Black Power Conference’. I knew little about her at the time, except as an iconic Black Power and Nationalist leader of the Black Reparations movement. In later years, guided by a desire to explore multiple migration frames and to move beyond the small circle of college-educated middle-class US Pan-...

• Doing Diversity in Higher Education: Faculty Leaders Share Challenges and Strategies

  2008-11-14 · 2 citations

  book

  Using case studies from universities throughout the nation, Doing Diversity in Higher Education examines the role faculty play in improving diversity on their campuses. The power of professors to enhance diversity has long been underestimated, their initiatives often hidden from view. Winnifred Brown-Glaude and her contributors uncover major themes and offer faculty and administrators a blueprint for conquering issues facing campuses across the country. Topics include how to dismantle hostile microclimates, sustain and enhance accomplishments, deal with incomplete institutionalization, and collaborate with administrators. The contributors' essays portray working on behalf of diversity as a genuine intellectual project rather than a faculty "service." The rich variety of colleges and universities included provides a wide array of models that faculty can draw upon to inspire institutional change

  This chapter discusses the reasons that pushed Sharon Harley to write personal reflections of her life. According to Harley, writing a personal reflection of her life as an academic offers an extraordinary opportunity to be her own subject—to share her own history of being an African American woman historian and university professor specializing in African American women's history. Since writing a personal memoir or autobiographical text is a chance for a scholar to reflexively confront the continual task of the historian—to consciously and subconsciously choose the elements to include and exclude—it reveals significant aspects of Harley's mission in life to both her readers and herself. Historians are also especially cognizant that such details will likely be scrutinized and interpreted by generations of historians and other scholars. For these reasons, Harley is drawn to this task because, in telling her own story, she can try to reduce the strong possibility that she will be misinterpreted or, worse, maligned by scholars and others.

• Women's Labor in the Global Economy : Speaking in Multiple Voices

  2007-06-05 · 27 citations

  book1st authorCorresponding

  Globalization is not a new phenomenon; women throughout the world have been dealing with the circumstances and consequences of an international economy long before the advent of the transnational corporate conglomerate. However, in a mercenary example of the tried clich "the more things change, the more they stay the same," women-particularly those of color-continue to be relegated to the lowest rung of the occupational ladder, where their indispensable contributions to global market capitalism are downplayed or invalidated completely through the perpetuation of stereotypes and the denial of access to better job opportunities and resources. How women of color around the world adapt and challenge the economic, political, and social effects of globalization is the subject of this broad-minded and incisive anthology. From Mexico, Jamaica, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka, to immigrant and non-immigrant communities in the United States-the women documented in these essays are agricultural and factory workers, artists and entrepreneurs, mothers and activists. Their stories bear stark witness to how globalization continues to develop new sites and forms of exploitation, while its apparent victims continue to be women, men, and children of color
