The goal of the center is to enhance the study of the humanities at Rochester while strengthening ties to related disciplines. Joan Shelley Rubin, Dexter Perkins Professor in History and director of graduate studies in Rochester’s history department will serve as interim director. Preliminary work on the center’s strategic plan will begin in the fall and continue once a permanent director is named.
