The University has established the Naomi Schor Lecture Fund to honor and perpetuate the memory of Professor Schor by bringing to the Yale community distinguished speakers on the broad range of topics represented by her teaching and research. Naomi Schor was a scholar of nineteenth-century French literature and culture, whose writings focused on the novel, but whose interests spanned a much wider area, including feminist theory, women’s and gender studies, the visual arts, interdisciplinary approaches to literature and history, and the relation of universalism, human rights, and citizenship to the more particular national, ethnic, and immigrant identities of America and France.
Speakers have included Joan Scott , Francoise Gaspard, , Margaret Phelan, Linda Nochlin, Judith Butler, Alice Kaplan, Patrick Weil, Roya Hakakian, Griselda Pollock, Susan Suleiman, Maurice Samuels, Pierre Saint-Amand, Anne Garetta, and Roger Cohen.
