Confabulating with Prof. Clifford Ando Ph.D., University of Michigan, 1996 Research Interests: Roman history; Roman religion; legal history; contemporary social theory; the history of political thought; metaphor and cognition Clifford Ando's research focuses on the histories of religion, law and government in the ancient world. His first book centered on the history of political culture in the provinces of the Roman empire, and he continues to write and advise on topics related to the provincial administration, the relationship between imperial power and local cultural change, and the form and structure of ancient empires. He has also written extensively on ancient religion. Significant themes were the connection of religion to empire and imperial government, especially in relation to pluralism and tolerance; and problems of representation in the use of objects in ritual. His current projects include a study of Latin as a language of the law and a study of legal theory in contexts of weak state power. He is also general editor of Roman Statutes: Renewing Roman Law, a collaborative project that will produce a new edition, translation and commentary on all epigraphically-preserved Roman laws. The project is supported by grants from the The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, the Neubauer Collegium, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Since their inception, natural history museums have struggled with how to represent Native Americans and their culture. People from these communities are often not included in the conversation, and their artifacts can be mishandled. But the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, in partnership with the Neubauer Collegium at the University of Chicago, is trying to change that. A historic exhibition, Apsáalooke Women and Warriors, is the first large-scale show to be curated by an Indigenous person. Along with an overhaul of its Native North American Hall, the Field Museum is trying to address the racially insensitive past of many natural history museums by including Native Americans in the process.

The illicit antiquities market is a global problem with serious consequences for scientific knowledge, global politics, local cultural identities, and the objects themselves. Supported by the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society, the Past for Sale project is a uniquely interdisciplinary collaboration that studies the scope of this market and posits new strategies to combat it. Leading University of Chicago thinkers from anthropology, art history, economics, law, and policy are setting a new agenda for safeguarding antiquities and cultural heritage for future generations.

Quentin Skinner, Barber Beaumont Professor of the Humanities at Queen Mary University of London, delivers a Neubauer Collegium Director’s Lecture, “How Should We Think about Freedom?” on April 20, 2015, in Breasted Hall of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago. The concept of individual freedom is usually understood in negative terms as absence of interference or constraint. In his lecture, Skinner argues that this orthodoxy is in need of qualification and perhaps abandonment. He begins by noting that, because the concept of interference is such a complex one, there has been much dispute even within the liberal tradition about the conditions under which it may be legitimate to claim that freedom has been infringed. Furthermore, some writers challenge the liberal tradition by insisting that its emphasis on non-interference leaves us without any grasp of the content of human freedom. Skinner suggests that both these traditions of thought arguably fail to recognize the centrality of a different element in the idea of personal liberty. He concludes with an attempt to excavate this rival and largely occluded tradition of thinking and with some reflections on its special importance in democratic societies. Skinner was previously the Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge. He is a fellow of the British Academy and a foreign member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. His scholarship has won the Wolfson History Prize and a Balzan Prize, and he has received many honorary degrees. “The Times Literary Supplement” listed his “The Foundations of Modern Political Thought” (1978) as one of the hundred most influential books published since World War II. Skinner’s other books include “Reason and Rhetoric in the Philosophy of Hobbes” (1996), “Liberty before Liberalism” (1998), “Machiavelli” (2000), “Hobbes and Republican Liberty” (2008), “Forensic Shakespeare” (2014), and “Visions of Politics” (2002). A collection of essays, “From Humanism to Hobbes,” will appear in 2016. The Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society supports innovative and collaborative research projects led by University of Chicago faculty, hosts visiting fellows from around the world, and pioneers efforts to engage a wider public in humanistic scholarship.

In an ambitious initiative designed to expand the boundaries of humanistic study, the University of Chicago is establishing a center devoted to addressing questions that transcend any single field or methodology.The Neubauer Family Collegium on Culture and Society will create a destination for outstanding visiting scholars in the humanities and humanistic social sciences from around the nation and the world, who will come to collaborate with their peers in Chicago. The Neubauer Collegium will fund research into large-scale questions that require the expertise and perspectives of many disciplines, while pioneering new efforts to share that work with a wider public. The Collegium is named in honor of Joseph Neubauer and Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer, whose landmark $26.5 million gift to the University is among the largest in support of the humanities and social sciences in the institution's history.
