<div><b>Professor Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak </b>is a
literary theorist and co-founder of the Institute of
Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University,
where she holds rank of University Professor. Professor
Spivak is best known for her essay “Can the Subaltern
Speak?” (1988) which was a founding text of both
postcolonial and subaltern studies; the 20th anniversary of
this essay’s publication occasioned a volume entitled <span
class="fn" style="font-style: italic;"><span dir="ltr">Can
the Subaltern Speak?</span></span><i>: </i><span
class="subtitle"><span dir="ltr"><i>Reflections on the
History of an Idea (</i></span></span>2010)<span
class="subtitle"><span dir="ltr"><i>, </i>in which eight
scholars trace the impact of Spivak’s groundbreaking
essay. Professor Spivak is the translator of Jacques
Derrida’s <i>Of Grammatology</i>, and she has also
translated a number of literary works by Mahasweta Devi.
Her most recent work includes </span></span><i>A
Critique of Postcolonial Reason: Towards a History of the
Vanishing Present</i> (1999), <i>Death of a Discipline</i>
(2003), and <i>An Aesthetic Education in the Era of
Globalization</i> (2012). She is currently at work on a
book entitled <em>Du Bois and the General Strike. </em>She
has also been an activist in rural education and feminist
and ecological social movements since 1986. Professor Spivak
received her B.A. in English (First Class Honors) at
Presidency College, Calcutta, in 1959, her Ph.D. in
Comparative Literature at Cornell University in 1967, and
she is the recipient of numerous honorary doctorates. She
received the Kyoto Prize in Thought and Ethics in 2012, and
Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award given in the
Republic of India, in 2013. </div>

<div style="margin: 0px;"><b>Professor Eric Schocket </b>taught
American literature at Hampshire College from 1996 until
his death in 2006. A much-admired teacher and colleague,
his courses inspired a decade of students. Nationally, he
was a leading figure in working-class studies. His
writings on figures like Herman Melville, Rebecca Harding
Davis, William Dean Howells, and Langston Hughes engaged
the important relationship between class and culture. His
book, <i>Vanishing Moments: Class and American Literature</i>,
was published in 2006.</div>
