The Cardenio project was made possible through the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. In 2007, the foundation presented Stephen Greenblatt with one of three Distinguished Achievement Awards for scholars in the humanities. Intended to underscore the decisive contributions the humanities make to the nation’s intellectual life, the awards, amounting to as much as $1.5 million each, honor scholars who have made significant contributions to humanistic inquiry. |

Around the world today, scholars are attacked because of their words, their ideas and their place in society. Those seeking power and control work to limit access to information and new ideas by targeting scholars, restricting academic freedom and repressing research, publication, teaching and learning. The Scholars at Risk Network (SAR) is an international network of universities and colleges responding to these attacks. SAR promotes academic freedom and defends the human rights of scholars and their communities worldwide. Visit Scholars at Risk online, or view the Harvard chapter. |

In November 2007, President Drew Faust of Harvard University convened a task force "charged broadly with examining the role of the arts in a research university, in a liberal arts education, and at Harvard specifically. It will explore the role of arts both within and beyond the curriculum, as well as how Harvard can encourage connections between arts activities and science, technology, humanities, and other related fields." Led by Cogan University professor Stephen Greeblatt, the Task Force on the Arts produced a report in December 2008 making a powerful case for the role of the arts with a research university. Download the report, and read President Faust's concluding statement.
