Tracy Dobson
Born and raised in Ann Arbor. French major at U-M. Returned later to obtain law degree, owing to concerns about environment. In my law studies, I added a concrete focus to long time felt concern about oppression of women that developed into my “ministry” at MSU where I was able to create and teach “Women and the Law.” Professor of Fisheries & Wildlife and Women’s Studies for 31 years. Co-creator of Center for Gender in Global Context. Led study abroad in Kenya and conducted environmental research in Malawi. My graduate students work for US and international environmental organizations. Long time summer resident of Montague. Bought a home here in 2007 to which I and my husband, Oscar Kent, retired in 2012. In retirement I have become a full-time activist for progressive candidates, the environment and good governance. I was a co-founder of ROAD in 2010 after a very depressing election outcome. I also serve on the board of Progressive Women’s Democratic Women’s Caucus.
