 '''Nicholas B. Dirks''' was the Executive Vice President for [[Arts and Sciences]] and Dean of that same faculty, the [[Franz Boas]] Professor of [[Anthropology]], and a Professor of [[History Department|History]].
-Trained as an anthropologist and historian of South Asia, particularly concerned with southern India, Dirks came to Columbia in [[1997]], and radically altered the approach of the Anthropology Department toward [[Postcolonialism]]. In his role as VP for Arts and Sciences, he has gained credit for aggressively recruiting (and in some cases raiding) faculty to dramatically improve targeted departments, most notably [[Economics]]. Despite his administrative role, Dirks still publishes, though he rarely now teaches undergraduates.
