ECS Director Effie Rentzou (French and Italian) and ECS Executive Committee member Eduardo Cadava (English) are among four faculty members named as 2025-26 Old Dominion Research Professors in the Humanities Council. The yearlong program provides additional research time for Princeton faculty and seeks to enhance the University humanities community more broadly.
Old Dominion Research Professors engage in and contribute to the intellectual life of the Humanities Council throughout the academic year. They are invited to share their research through talks, workshops, and lunch conversations, and to participate in Council activities, initiatives, and cross-disciplinary programs. The cohort also serves as Faculty Fellows in the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts.
