In concert with the senior leadership at SU, the Director will also be involved in guiding projects that reflect SU’s emphasis on Scholarship in Action, including ongoing initiatives on the digital humanities and the public role of art, technology, and design (http://syr.edu/about/vision.html). The Director must be an active participant in national debates and organizational work on the public significance of humanities, arts, and design, and have a vigorous scholarly and writing agenda that explores and exemplifies the public dimensions of scholarly and creative work.
