Abstract/Contents

Abstract: In his interview, Professor Lindenberger describes the process of establishing the Program in Comparative Literature and the challenges he faced; in particular his role in strengthening the language departments. Professor Lindenberger discusses his involvement in starting the Humanities Center at Stanford which he then directed for a year. He was an active participant in the Western Culture debate and in the changes in curriculum that followed. He also reflects on the evolution of the humanities at Stanford over the past forty-five years and on the changes in perception of the humanities over the years. Last but not least, he comments on his role mentoring graduate students with their dissertations.
