Diversity Statement
As an interdisciplinary program with a mission to foster dialogue and collaboration across disciplines, languages and traditions, Renaissance Studies is fundamentally committed to values of diversity, equity and inclusion. We strive to create and maintain an inclusive community where all feel welcomed, valued and supported, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship status, gender identity, sexuality, disability, age, economic class or religious tradition. In our programming we welcome and encourage diverse views, epistemologies and research strategies that can help redefine the meaning and scope of the term Renaissance, while also acknowledging the essentially problematic origin and history of Renaissance Studies. Indeed, it is only through such a reckoning that the program can fulfill its mission.
