Scholar exhorts graduate students
to develop broader perspective
by John Kish IV
The tendency to isolate oneself within one's field, "to narrow one's
focus" is lamentable, according to Robert Fogarty, keynote speaker for
"Undrawing the Line," Lehigh's third annual interdisciplinary conference by and for graduate students held February 12-13.
"Graduate students should read, read as widely as they can, said
Fogarty, professor of history and and American studies at Antioch
College and editor of the "Antioch Review."
"Interdisciplinary work occurs not inside departments, but inside
people's heads," he added. "You have to know something about a
number of different fields and use those fields simply as an analytical
tool; you have to be open to different approaches that might be taken."
Organized by Lehigh graduate students in the departments of
English and history, the conference invited participants to "undraw"
the lines that separate or associate academic departments and disciplines.
In the spirit of the conference, sessions would combine seemingly
unrelated topics such as architecture and literature or have a paper on
American short fiction by Nathaniel Hawthorne matched with a paper
on a documentary video on 20th-century serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
Very often participants would find they were raising similar issues by
the end of the session.
Graduate students from across the U.S. and Canada presented
more than 80 papers. Nearly 150 people attended the two-day conference which was organized by Martha Marinara and Dorothy Posh,
teaching fellows in Lehigh's department of English, Craig Dedrick
and Michael Kennedy, teaching assistants in the department of
history.
