Areas of StudyScholars Who TeachWilliam Cheng
Associate Professor of Music
"I work at the intersection of sound and justice. By lending an ear to imperatives of care and accessibility, I engage questions about vulnerability, solidarity, and survivability of humans and humanity in late-capitalist environments. My research asks how music and musicians can help us answer these questions."

Associate Professor of Engineering
"Many years ago, architects and engineers were the same thing—master builders. The field of engineering has become increasingly specialized, especially at schools and in some companies. That has made the field more narrow and scientific. But I think science and engineering should be about discovery."

Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor in Digital Humanities
"Games are broadly interdisciplinary. They encompass computer science, psychology, sociology, music, art, neuroscience, and more. They're what the liberal arts are all about. We teach our students to think across disciplines. They develop their ability to attack problems, ask productive questions, and invent fresh solutions."

Assistant Professor of Religion and African and African American Studies
"I help students understand that racial identity and religious belonging have never remained unchanging in American history. To comprehend religion and race, students must account for histories of nuance, according to region, age, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and enslaved/free/citizenship status."

Professor of Government, and of Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies
"My research examines the extent to which formal institutional rules shape the possibilities for achieving gender inequality. I focus on human rights treaties, specifically the United Nations convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, gender quota laws, and the Equal Rights Amendment."

Associate Professor of Art History
"Dialogue and conversation about the architecture brings it alive, both for me and the students. This stuff is more than just an image on a screen. Making it part of a bigger discussion about Rome, about what buildings do--that's been personally rewarding for me."
