Intellectual & Cultural History Research
The study of intellectual and cultural history is the study of ideas and beliefs in their historical context. Faculty members whose work falls under this category interrogate the ways overarching value systems, key words, and concepts—such as guilt, democracy, social order, equality—have been deployed by thinkers, writers, artists, and other cultural producers. Also important are the ways in which these concepts themselves mobilize broader society. More detailed information on below-listed faculty can be found on their faculty biography pages.
