We are pleased to announce that the Board of Trustees has approved the transfer of the Art History program to the College of Humanities, and that it will be housed in the Department of Humanities, Classics and Comparative Literature, to be renamed the Department of Comparative Arts and Letters (CAL). The change will take place at the beginning of Winter Semester 2015. We welcome Martha Moffitt Peacock, Mark J. Johnson, Heather Belnap Jensen and James R. Swensen to the college and very much look forward to our association with them.

Dennis Cutchins on Literature & Disease

June 13, 2020 12:00 AM
Illness has been recorded in art for much of human history. In the fall of 2017, my colleague Brian Poole and I co-taught an Honors 220: Unexpected Connections course we titled “Literature and Disease.” The class was Brian’s idea.
