Thanks to a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, I will be on sabbatical from January – December 2007. During this period I will split my time between South Bend and Paris (March – May), working on A Literary History of the French Revolution. I am pleased to announce that Professor Tony Messina (Political Science) will serve as Acting Assistant Provost in my absence. Tony brings much administrative experience, energy and wisdom to the position, and we are grateful for his service to the Office of International Studies.
