Background

Drew Gilpin Faust serves as the President of Harvard University.

Previously, she had served as founding dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, a post she took up on Jan. 1, 2001. As the first dean of the Radcliffe Institute, she guided the transformation of Radcliffe from a college into a wide-ranging institute ... for advanced study. Under her leadership, Radcliffe emerged as one of the nation’s foremost centers of scholarly and creative enterprise, distinctive for its multidisciplinary focus and the exploration of new knowledge at the crossroads of traditional fields. In recognition of its roots in Radcliffe College, the Institute maintains a special commitment to the study of women, gender, and society. To support its mission, she directed a comprehensive administrative restructuring, secured the Institute’s finances, attracted major new gifts, and undertook an extensive renovation of Radcliffe’s historic campus. Before coming to Radcliffe, she was Annenberg Professor of History and Director of the Women’s Studies Program at the University of Pennsylvania, where she served for 25 years on the faculty. She is the author of five books, including Mothers of Invention: Women of the Slaveholding South in the American Civil War (University of North Carolina Press, 1996), for which she won the Francis Parkman Prize in 1997. Her most recent scholarship, studying the impact of the Civil War’s enormous death toll on the lives of 19th-century Americans, will be published in 2008 as This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War (Alfred A. Knopf). She serves as a Director of Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. She serves as a Trustee of Bryn Mawr College, the Andrew Mellon Foundation, and the National Humanities Center, and she serves on the educational advisory board of the Guggenheim Foundation. She has served as president of the Southern Historical Association, vice president of the American Historical Association, and executive board member of the Organization of American Historians and the Society of American Historians. She has also served on numerous editorial boards and selection committees, including the Pulitzer Prize history jury in 1986, 1990, and 2004. Her honors include awards in 1982 and 1996 for distinguished teaching at the University of Pennsylvania. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1994, the Society of American Historians in 1993, and the American Philosophical Society in 2004.
