WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williams College Board of Trustees voted in April to promote Sara Dubow, assistant professor of history, to the position of associate professor with tenure. The promotion will take effect July 1.
Dubow's research and teaching interests look at the intersections of gender, law, and politics in the United States during the 20th century. Her book, "Ourselves Unborn: A History of the Fetus in Modern America," published in 2011 by Oxford University Press, won the 2011 Bancroft Prize from Columbia University.
Since her arrival at Williams in 2007, Dubow has taught classes in the department of history and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies departments. During the 2011-12 academic year, she served on the Faculty Steering Committee and on the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Advisory Committee.
She received her bachelor's degree from Williams in 1991 and her doctorate from Rutgers University in 2003. Before arriving at Williams, Dubow taught at the Brearley School, Hunter College High School, and Hunter College.

Williamstown Planners Green Light Initiatives at Both Ends of Route 7
By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Jack Miller Contractors has received the town's approval to renovate and expand the abandoned gas station and convenience store property at the corner of Sand Springs Road and Simonds Road (Route 7) to serve as its new headquarters.
Last Tuesday, the Planning Board voted, 5-0, to approve a development plan for 824 Simonds Road that will incorporate the existing 1,300-square-foot building and add an approximately 2,100-square-foot addition.
"We look forward to turning what is now an eyesore into a beautiful property and hope it will be a great asset to the neighborhood and to Williamstown," Miller said on Friday.
Charlie LaBatt of Guntlow and Associates told the Planning Board that the new addition will be office space while the existing structure will be converted to storage for the contractor.
The former gas station, most recently an Express Mart, was built in 1954 and, as of Friday morning, was listed with an asking price of $300,000 by G. Fuls Real Estate on 0.39 acres of land in the town's Planned Business zoning district.
"The proposed project is to renovate the existing structure and create a new addition of office space," LaBatt told the planners. "So it's both office and, as I've described in the [application], we have a couple of them in town: a storage/shop type space, more industrial as opposed to traditional storage."
He explained that while some developments can be reviewed by Town Hall staff for compliance with the bylaw, there are three potential triggers that send that development plan to the Planning Board: an addition or new building 2,500 square feet or more, the disturbance of 20,000 square feet of vegetation or the creation or alteration of 10 or more parking spots.
