She specializes in 20th- and 21st-century American literature, especially the period since 1945. Her new monograph, Making Literature Now (Stanford, 2016) is about the social networks that support and shape contemporary literature in both traditional and virtual media.

Essays from the project have appeared in ALH and Contemporary Literature. Prof. Hungerford is also the author of The Holocaust of Texts: Genocide, Literature, and Personification (Chicago, 2003) and Postmodern Belief: American Literature and Religion Since 1960 (Princeton, 2010) and serves as the editor of the ninth edition of the Norton Anthology of American Literature, Volume E, “Literature Since 1945” (forthcoming in 2016).

M. Thursday 16 April 1936 Strathcona Hall Yale University We are gathered here to pay our tribute of admiration and respect to Lafayette Benedict Mendel, who died on December 9th last. During his long years of faithful service in this University, he endeared himself to hundreds of students who owe to him the inspiration of intellectual leadership and the severe discipline given by a learned and accurate scholar. His striking accomplishments in a relatively new field put him early in the front rank of American scientists and his entire career reflected lustre upon his Alma Mater, whom he served so devotedly. We are fortunate in having here to refresh our memories of our friend, Dr. Russell Henry Chittenden, Director-emeritus of the Sheffield Scientific School, who was Dr. Mendel's first teacher and for many years his colleague; the Honorable Frederic C. Walcott, YALE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE, VOL. 8, NO. 6 560 YALE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE formerly member of the United States Senate and now Commis- sioner of Welfare in Connecticut, who was a classmate; and Dr. Phoebus A.

You may believe that you already know what we’re going to say about diversity at Yale, and you may bring thoughts of your own about diversity to measure ours against. With this in mind, here’s a preliminary exercise that may be productive. Take out a pen and, in the empty box below, write down a few thoughts in response to these questions: How is Yale going to define “diversity”? How would I define it? Not feeling 100% satisfied with what you’ve written? Neither were we when we sent this piece o≠ to the printing press. Among other things, a liberal education is a liberating education.

  • Interdisciplinary Study 1 Interdisciplinary Study
    Interdisciplinary Study 1 Interdisciplinary Study Interdisciplinary study may be undertaken by YDS students in two ways: by pursuing, concurrent with an M.Div. or M.A.R. degree from YDS, a program leading to a joint degree, granted by Yale or another university; or by taking courses in other Yale schools or departments to be credited to a single YDS degree. Joint-Degree Programs YDS encourages its students to pursue concurrent degree programs that lead to the receipt of more than one degree when such programs constitute a coherent and well-defined preparation for ministry. Students may work simultaneously toward a YDS degree and a degree in certain other Yale schools or other approved graduate programs. (See following list of approved joint-degree programs.) Additionally, students may earn joint degrees in partnership with two outside institutions: the schools of social work of the University of Connecticut and Yeshiva University. In most cases, the period of study required to complete two degrees is less (usually by one year) than would be required to complete those degrees if they were pursued independently. Applicants are encouraged to consult an admissions officer to determine whether the reduced period of study applies to the specific program(s) of interest to the applicant. The administrative officers of the schools concerned arrange assessment of tuition and other fees. Students interested in pursuing one of the joint degrees should consult with each school prior to matriculating at either school. In all cases where concurrent degrees are sought, admission to the school must be obtained through the normal admissions processes established by each school.
