THE DOUGLAS FAMILY CHAIR IN AMERICAN CULTURE, HISTORY, AND LITERARY AND INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
Current Holder: Gregory Pfitzer
Previous Holders: Joanna Zangrando, Mary Constance Lynn
The Douglas Family Chair is endowed to recognize excellence among the Skidmore faculty in the area of American culture, whether in history, literature, or interdisciplinary studies. The Douglas Family Chair, while renewable, is intended to support the work of a number of faculty and will, therefore, be occupied typically for terms of four to five years. Nominations will be addressed to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will consult with the Dean of the Faculty and the Committee on Appointments, Promotions & Tenure in making a recommendation.
