| Welcome!
This past Spring we inaugurated our new Center for the
Humanities at Tufts with a symposium on “The Art and Ethics
of Translation.” On March 6 and 7 the Center hosted five
internationally known translators and scholars, including
2007 John D. and Catherine MacArthur Fellow Peter Cole, for
a series of lectures and panels.
In late March we held a second
symposium, “Fashion and Its Discontents,” with the
participation of Tufts alumna Jill-Hudson Neal, design
editor of the Washington Post, and four Tufts professors who
discussed, among other topics, Virginia Woolf’s horror of
shopping, and the vogue for all things “Kahlo.”
The symposia are central to our breadth of purpose. We
promote innovative, collaborative study in the humanities
and arts, and encourage conversation and debate in an effort
to reach beyond the borders of a given discipline.
