R. Dianne Bartlow was a professor at California State University Northridge and an Emmy-winning director, writer and producer. community, family, friends and colleagues said goodbye last weekend to R. Dianne Bartlow—professor, scholar, feminist writer, Emmy-winning producer and director. She’s left too soon, at the age of 67 after a short battle with lung cancer.
I met Dianne in the first decade of the 2000s. We dutifully attended annual National Women’s Studies Association conferences, which we hoped would live up our mutual vision of a multiracial feminist academic community. We eventually witnessed significant change to the organization in our second decade of attendance, when it became more focused on the intersectional and transnational feminist work that defined our interdisciplinary field.
Dianne was humble and down-to-earth, which is why I was surprised to learn of her accomplishments as an award-winning television writer-producer. Her first Emmy nomination was for a local special,A Community for Caring Meals on Wheels.Wings Over Jordan, We Remember, which is archived in the Peabody Awards Collection at the University of Georgia, explores the history of the African American singing group Wings of Jordan, the first gospel singers to become Ambassadors of Goodwill for the United States while raising the morale of men and women fighting during World War II. She also freelanced for CBS/KCBS Television, Lifetime, Entertainment Tonight and the Oprah Winfrey Show.
