MEET OUR STAFF

Dr. C.C. Wharram, Director

Welcome to the Center for the Humanities! While I was appointed Director in January of 2014, I couldn't begin to offer the opportunities, events, and outreach for which our Center has become known without the help of our fantastic office personnel (below), the chairs and members of our many committees, and our affiliate faculty! 

My own research in the Humanities focuses on translation studies, Romantic and Gothic literature, and the intersections between literature, philosophy, and science in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Of late, I've become intrigued by scholarship that puts the humanities, translation, and the sciences into conversation, to which my recent essays 鈥淣othing Human鈥� in Educational Theory (October 2014) and 鈥溾�楢 Proper Contagion鈥�: The Inoculation Narrative and the Immunological Turn鈥� in the collection Transforming Contagion: Risky Contacts among Bodies, Disciplines, and Nations (2018) testify. I also edited a special volume on 鈥淭eaching Romantic Translation(s)鈥� for Romantic Circle Pedagogies (July 2014). I am completing a translation of Goethe's The Passion of Young Werther under contract with Broadview Press.

Former Interns

Carlos Collins, Office Manager

I am a senior at 91成人视频, majoring in sociology with minors in criminology and psychology. I am currently in the process of completing two independent projects, the first of which is focused on gauging the attitudes and motivations of urban youth when pursuing higher education. Outside of the office, you can find me at Alpha Kappa Delta and NSCS meetings and events, as I am on the executive board for both organizations. I am looking forward to working at the Center for Humanities and learning and being useful in any way possible.
