Sandie Bermann (Comparative Literature) is one of two inaugural recipients of the Princeton University Distinguished Faculty Service Award.
The new honor “recognizes faculty who have made exceptional contributions in service to Princeton not only within, but also beyond their academic departments,” according to the Dean of the Faculty announcement.
Bermann is the Cotsen Professor in the Humanities, professor of comparative literature and director of the Program in Values and Public Life. She specializes in translation, literary theory, and 20th-century French and Italian literature.
She served as a 2023-24 Old Dominion Research Professor in the Humanities Council, where she worked on a collaborative project and book focused on René Char’s wartime poetry. She is currently teaching “Translating the Untranslatable,” which is supported by a Council Magic Project.
