RESEARCH PROGRAM
Historical & Cultural Research
Using archives, biography, art, literature, and historical scholarship to place contemporary questions in a deeper human context.
History changes the frame.
Questions about sexuality, identity, censorship, civil liberties, and social norms rarely begin with the current news cycle. Historical and cultural work gives readers the context needed to understand how institutions, language, law, and public attitudes developed over time.
A home for archival work
The redesigned site can bring together biographies, archival documents, historical essays, art and cultural studies, and Foundation-supported scholarship while preserving authorship and source context.
