Silk Gift Honors Wife
DIANE DOERGE WILSON
A new endowed chair has been established at HBS to honor the late Diane Doerge Wilson, an organizational sociologist and longtime researcher, author, and consultant on the impact of information technology on companies around the globe. The chair was established by her husband, Alvin J. Silk, the Lincoln Filene Professor of Business Administration, Emeritus, to support an HBS faculty member whose interests include the intersection of gender with work, career, and family issues, a passion of Wilson's throughout her academic and professional career. HBS professor Robin Ely, senior associate dean for Culture and Community, is the chair's first incumbent. "Robin is an accomplished and influential expert who examines gender and race issues in the workplace," Silk said. "The focus of her teaching and research, along with her important administrative role at HBS, aligns perfectly with Diane's abiding interest in work, career, and family."
