most distinguished scholars of American Studies. He published two
groundbreaking books on early American literature, but his scholarship and
teaching encompassed American literature from the Puritans to Postmodernism.
Emory dedicated himself to the most generous understanding of what the field of
American Studies might be, and what an academic department can do – since
the start of his career he was a passionate advocate and mentor for his
subject, his students and colleagues. Emory joined the U.C. Riverside English
department as Professor of English in 1989 and was appointed University
Professor in 2001. As an advocate for a rigorously inclusive University, he
championed diversity in faculty hiring and new areas of inquiry. You would
often see Emory on campus or at his favorite spot, Jammin’ Bread, sharing
coffee or lunch with a junior faculty member and listening with complete
attention to a description of the book in progress and offering advice about
publication. He gave invaluable moral and material support to so many of us.<br>
<br>
Scholars across the country and across the world came to know UCR through
Emory’s inspired and dedicated work as director of UCR’s Center for
Ideas and Society. As Director, Emory brought major initiatives funded by
grants from the Ford and Rockefeller foundations to the campus, and sponsored
landmark conferences, such as “Aesthetics and Difference,” which
placed <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Riverside</st1:City></st1:place>
at the center of national discussions of a progressive future for the
Humanities. As President of the American Studies Association, Emory took great
pride in furthering opportunities for international exchange and collaboration,
believing that scholarship and education were crucial to a more peaceful and
just world.<br>
<br>
Speakers will include UCR Chancellor Timothy White, Brown University President
Ruth Simmons, David Theo Goldberg, Director UCHRI, Lisa Lowe, Professor of
Literature, UC San Diego, and students and faculty from UCR....<br>
