The British Academy, a national academy for the humanities and social sciences, has elected Yale faculty member Geoffrey Hartman a corresponding fellow.
Election to the British Academy comes as the culmination of a rigorous selection process involving each of the academy's 18 sections, organized by academic discipline. Corresponding fellows are scholars of international distinction. Hartman, who is Sterling Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature, is among 319 individuals named corresponding fellows since the academy was founded in 1902.
The British Academy is an independent learned society which promotes research and scholarship in all branches of humane and social studies, including philosophy, language, literature, history, economics, law, sociology, geography and politics, among others. It is the counterpart to the Royal Society, which covers the natural sciences.
Hartman, who is currently a senior research scholar in English and comparative literature, is an expert in the field of literary criticism. He is also a noted scholar of Holocaust literature who served for many years as project director of Yale's Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies and is currently an adviser to the library's Holocaust collection.
