SUPPORT from The Center for the Humanities has benefited me in several critical ways. Through our discussions, I have learned about other fields of endeavor in the humanities. I have also enjoyed being pushed outside my intellectual “comfort zone,” and believe that I am a more circumspect scholar for it. The grasp I have on my own project has deepened both theoretically and historically. While the responses I received after presenting my work to the seminar were invaluable, I learned still more from listening to others speak about their own work.
