“I hope my students may learn from me that learning and teaching can be co-investigative, that the study of history is both an important act of imagination and a moral responsibility to those who came before us, that true wonder needs exercise, risk, pursuit of what we may resist for fear of failure, that no good art gets made from comfort but most of all I hope we can be led by fierce delight in questions.”
