Once a month, on a Friday afternoon, one of the current Fellows shares a chapter or article-length essay with the rest of the group. I have been calling these workshops First Draft Fridays, but, in most instances, the manuscript often lies somewhere between a first draft and the finalized version intended for publication. We spend an hour or so sitting in the large leather chairs in the newly renovated Fellows’ Lounge in the Heyman Center. Typically, a member of the Governing Board opens the conversation, provides a bit of commentary, and partici- pates in the discussion. At the outset, we ask the author to describe the kind of feedback on the paper that would be most helpful, though sometimes the most helpful discussion moves into unexpected territory. Because we come to these sessions from very different disciplines and often with very different ways of proceeding, often the author must give a presentation of the method as well as the substance. For those of us reading the paper, the workshops provide a chance to consider how scholars in a different corner of the humanities do their work. For the author, it provides an opportunity to see how a paper looks to interested outsiders. Around 4:45 or so, we retire to a neighborhood bar, where other members of the Governing Board are encour- aged to join us. The quality of these meetings and the sense of community they inspire Chair and Director Christopher L. Brown have far exceeded my expectations. I anticipate that these workshops will become a tradi- tion at the Society of Fellows for years to come. Their origins lie in several conversations I had with current and departing Fellows after my first year as Director. Some wished for additional opportunities to share their work and to meet with members of the Governing Board. A few hoped to test ideas in a set- ting where the stakes would be a bit lower than in the public Thursday Lecture Series. It seemed to me not only that a further nudge to write would serve the Fellows well, but also that we all would come to know the individual projects better if we collectively read a bit from each of them. I learned some years ago, not long after I came to Columbia in the summer of 2007, that it would be too much to ask visitors to the weekly lectures to review pre-circulated papers before the session, that in this fast-paced university it would limit the audience too greatly. By contrast, meeting once a month, and inviting only the Fellows, the Director, Associate Director, and a Board Member or two, helps ensure that the papers get read thoughtfully and that an informed, informal conversation may ensue. None of this would work, though, without a talented group of Fellows eager to engage 5 Columbia University_Society of Fellows in the Humanities 2013 Annual Report pass 4 07/17/14 page 6 with each other. Our three new Fellows this year—William Deringer (History of Sci ence), Brian Goldstone (Anthropology), and David Russell (English and Comparative Litera- ture)—brought to the group fresh energy, sharp minds, and new perspectives. They joined our outstanding continuing scholars: Dana Fields (Classics), Emily Ogden (English), Ian McCready-Flora (Philosophy), Edgardo Salinas (Music), and Yanfei Sun (Sociology). All gave superb talks in the fall lecture series. These get better and better every year, in my judgment. We were fortunate to close the term with a lecture by former Fellow Daniel Lee (2010–2011), now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at The University of Toronto, who gave a rich and subtle treatment of the problem of del- egated sovereignty in the work of the Early-Modern jurist and philosopher Jean Bodin. Spring 2013 served up an intellectual feast. For the lecture series, the Fellows chose the theme of “Animation,” and the scholars they invited pursued that theme in creative and unexpected ways. We had meditations, for example, on the meaning of wakefulness and the cultural expectations for the experience of sleep, on the place of music in the emergence of the human species, on early experiments in the preservation of vital matter, on the animation of memory in Roman Greece, on the practice of inviting spirits to inhabit statues in rural Chinese villages, on the relationship between vision and cognition, on iso- lation and identity in the films of Michael Leigh, and on the encounter with stone and the experience of time. In addition, the Society of Fellows sponsored three conferences in the second term. In February, Associate Director Eileen Gillooly and I teamed with Susan Pedersen in the Department of History to present a two-day conference on “The Moment of British Women’s History: Memories, Celebrations, Assessments, and Critiques.“ Hagar Kotef (2009–2012) returned from Israel to organize at New York University the third in- stallment of “Reworking Political Concepts III: A Lexicon in Formation.” To close the year, Emily Ogden arranged and presided over an energetic and well-attended conference on “Credulity: Enchantment and Modernity in the 19th Century U.S,” a gathering that spoke to the vitality of American Studies at Columbia University. The coming of spring also brought, inevitably, a string of departures. We had more than usual this academic year, including in the front office. Our wonderful Business Manager Krishana Bristol-Allen left in the summer of 2012 for a challenging new administrative position at Princeton University. Our Program Manager Jonah Cardillo, who has been vital to every aspect of the Heyman Center and the Society of Fellows for almost six years, this past April became Director of Institutional Gifts at St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children (Bayside, Queens). Five of our Fellows also take the next step in their careers. Dana Fields joins the Classics Department at SUNY Buffalo as an Assistant Professor. Emily Ogden begins a tenure-track job in the Department of English at the University of 6 Columbia University_Society of Fellows in the Humanities 2013 Annual Report pass 4 07/17/14 page 7 Virginia. David Russell takes up a post in English Language and Literature at King’s College, London. Edgardo Salinas continues in the Department of Music at Columbia, where he will teach Masterpieces of Western Music. And Yanfei Sun returns to the University of Chicago, where she earned her doctorate, for a year of lecturing and research before she starts her faculty appointment at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Each will be dearly missed. These impending departures made our ritual of yearly renewal all the more impor- tant. I am pleased to report that the Annual Fellowship Competition produced one of the deepest finalist pools in recent memory. Five received the award, but given the quality of the candidates, we might easily have doubled that number had we had the space and resources. As always, the incoming Fellows bring to the program new projects, new ques- tions, and, in some cases, new disciplinary orientations. The Institute for Research in African American Studies will host Vanessa-Agard Jones, a recent PhD in Anthropology and French Studies from New York University, who has interests in politics and sexuality in the modern Caribbean. Teresa Bejan joins us from the Department of Political Science at Yale University, where she worked on concepts of civility and on early modern and contemporary debates about religious toleration. Hidetaka Hirota, a prize-winning historian from Boston College, will teach for the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race and continue his work on immigration regulation in the nineteenth-century United States. Rebecca Woods, who joins us from the History, Anthropology, Science, Technology, and Society program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, works at the intersection of science, economy, and nature, with particular emphasis on livestock production, preservation, circulation, and cultural impact.

Readers of last year’s Newsletter will recall that Peter Green House was on the move, relocating a few hundred feet to the corner of Angell and Brown. That move has now been completed and we have settled back in our offices, a bit weary for the move, but grateful that we now have six new offices on the ground floor and a better view of campus. And now we can boast that we inhabit an award winning building, as acknowledged by the Providence Preservation Society. The additional space is especially appreciated because we have new faculty. Jorge Flores earned his degree in the History of the Portuguese Discoveries and Expansion from the New University of Lisbon and has taught at the University of Macau. He is associate professor of Portuguese and Brazilian Studies and History, and specializes in the Portuguese expansion in Asia. Françoise N. Hamlin did her graduate training at Yale and taught at the University of Massachusetts before coming here as assistant professor of Africana Studies and History. Professor Hamlin studies the history of the civil rights movement in the United States, with an emphasis on understanding the role of gender. Finally, Tracy Steffes arrived at Brown from the University of Chicago, where she recently completed her dissertation, “A New Education for a Modern Age: National Reform, State-building, and the Transformation of American Schooling, 1890-1933.” Her teaching record includes courses at the University of Chicago, Denison University, and at Indiana University-Northwest.
