Dinner with Professor Rebecca Biron

Rebecca Biron is a Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature and serves as Dean of Dartmouth College. Her academic work centers on the relationship between violence and narrative, most recently in the context of the Mexican drug war, but also in the context of gender relations, urban experiences, and Latin American political history.

As Dean of the College, Professor Biron is the senior officer responsible for undergraduate academic life at Dartmouth. Her role includes leadership of the College’s new residential house communities. She provides direction on student inclusivity and diversity issues and strategic planning on admissions and financial aid. In her administrative position, as she explains it, Dean Biron pays close attention to “narratives’ power to impose on people and also to free them to create new meanings/experiences.”

Come learn about Dean Biron’s administrative work and her perspectives on the future of Dartmouth!
