Andreea Deciu Ritivoi has been selected to lead the Department of English, a renowned leader in professional, technical and creative writing as well as rhetoric and literary and cultural studies.
Effective July 1, Ritivoi, professor of English, will succeed Chris Neuwirth, who has served as department head since 2009.
"Professor Ritivoi will be a wonderful leader. She is fully credible in all three areas in our English Department: creative writing, literary and cultural studies and rhetoric," said Richard Scheines, dean of the Dietrich College. "She has begun to branch out into digital humanities, a nationally growing field in which Carnegie Mellon is poised to be a natural leader, and she has already done excellent work on globalization and identity, as well as the role of art in social controversy. Andreea is an interdisciplinary scholar in the finest tradition of Carnegie Mellon."
