Our JASNA Oregon & SW Washington Region is thrilled that our member, Pauline Beard, Professor Emeritus is our 2019 Tribute Grant Honoree! Pauline has been an active member of our region for 30 years. She has served as Regional Coordinator, discussion leader numerous times, and co-chaired the committee that planned the 2010 AGM in Portland. She's always willing to assist and provide her expertise and knowledge of Jane Austen to discussions and other regional events.
Pauline enjoyed teaching about Jane Austen at Pacific University in Forest Grove. She presented papers at 5 AGM's! Two of her essays are published in Persuasions On-Line. Another essay on illness in Austen novels has 891 downloads in Common Knowledge Pacific University. Pauline also has a YouTube video of a satire on Pride And Prejudice And Zombies.
We are delighted that Pauline was profiled on the back cover of JASNA News, Spring 2019 which was the final issue of former Editor, Sheryl Craig.
Later, Pauline was profiled again in JASNA News, Winter 2020 for the "Member Profile" section, nominated by our region.
To honor Pauline, we photographed her at our March meeting at the elegant Portland Mirabella. Congratulations Pauline! We appreciate your many years of devotion to our Oregon/SW Washington Region!
