Michael S. Roth is President of Wesleyan University. His books include Beyond the University: Why Liberal Education Matters and Safe Enough Spaces: A Pragmatist’s Approach to Inclusion, Free Speech, and Political Correctness on College Campuses. He's been a Professor of History and the Humanities since 1983, was the Founding Director of the Scripps College Humanities Institute, and was the Associate Director of the Getty Research Institute. His scholarly interests center on how people make sense of the past, and he has authored eight books around this topic, including his latest, The Student: A Short History.
“I've been President now for more than 15 years, and we've created I think six new interdisciplinary colleges in that period. There were two when I started, and they had been there for 50 years, but we've created a College of the Environment, a College of Film and the Moving Image, a College of Education, College of Integrated Sciences, College of East Asian Studies, and a College of Design and Engineering, the newest one. And I love these things because they bring different disciplines. In the College of the Environment, you can have a biologist, a dancer, an anthropologist, and an economist, and they're all worrying about a certain problem in environmental studies, but they come at it from different perspectives, and they join together in their work. That's extremely exciting.”
