  • Spring 2000 Participant
    Spring 2000 | Pitzer College Participant Diversity at Pitzer: A Quilt of Many Colors President’s Message Time for a New Paradigm Throughout human history, our academic paradigms have been dictated by the cultural traditions and social mores of the era. In medieval times, for example, when religion permeated all areas of life, the study of Christianity was honored as the highest discipline. In the 19th Century, when nation states were growing in strength, the study of European cultures and their roots was the academic focus of most Western universities. And, in the mid-20th Century, when US influence dominated many regions of the world, the study of Western culture, understood as European heritage, formed the core of curricula in American academies. ¶ “In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal,” said Willis R. Whitney, an MIT professor and director of the General Electric Research Laboratory, around the turn of the last century. Whitney, an electrochemical engineer, was no doubt referring to new scientific discoveries. But the sentiment can be just as aptly applied to cultural knowledge. A new paradigm is needed to pave the way for the advancement of civilization as we enter the 21st Century. And this paradigm, which has been gestating in many corners of American academe, including here at Pitzer, is characterized by the quest for knowledge from cultures outside the mainstream curricula. These may be unexplored cultures abroad or cultures hidden or ignored within the most evident layer of American culture, among them subcultures tied to gender, race and sexual orientation.
