the henry r luce professorship in
human rights and journalism
The Henry
R. Luce Professorship Program was established in 1968
to encourage academic experimentation and creativity. It was
inspired by one of Luce's favorite concepts, which he called
"the unity of truth," and is designed to support
the integration of knowledge through innovative, interdisciplinary
teaching and learning.
The chairs focus on the humanities and social sciences, and
often draw upon insights from scientific discoveries. Luce
Professors have included distinguished academics as well as
public intellectuals and practitioners from outside the academy.
Thanks
to the generosity and flexibility of the Henry Luce Foundation,
in 2003 Bard created a shared appointment for professors Mark
Danner and Ian Buruma. Danner and Buruma now share the Henry
R Luce Professorship in Human Rights and Journalism.
