BOARD CHAIR

Linn Cary Mehta has taught at Columbia, Yale, Vassar, and Barnard College and NYU, and worked in Education and Culture at the Ford Foundation. She has studied and taught twentieth-century poetry in English, Spanish, and French; her work concerns the interaction of literature and development, especially in the Americas. In 2015 she published Poetry and Politics of Decolonization: Tagore, Yeats, Senghor, Césaire, and Neruda. Her involvement with immigrant cultures in New York has led her to serve on the boards of Goddard-Riverside Community Center, the Center for Traditional Music and Dance, and ID Studio Theater Performance and Research Center, for which she has adapted and translated several plays.
