Along with Philip Mayhew Professor of English Eduardo Cadava, the Humanities Council has named Elena Fratto (Slavic Languages and Literatures) Eric Gregory (Religion), and Effie Rentzou (French and Italian) as 2025-26 Old Dominion Research Professors. The yearlong program provides additional research time for Princeton faculty and seeks to enhance the University humanities community more broadly.

Cadava's Old Dominion Research Professorship will support a book on Fazal Sheikh ’87’s three-volume photobook, The Erasure Trilogy. Titled Erasures, it will be the first book-length examination of this project.
