Rentschler said he had offered Mitchell the VES position over dinner last Thursday on behalf of VES Chair Marjorie Garber, who is the Kenan professor of English.
Assistant Professor of VES and of English J.D. Connor ’92, who was also present at the dinner, said Mitchell had immediately reacted positively to the offer, made at posh Square restaurant Rialto.
“I don’t think you ask Elvis Mitchell to come back over Bartley’s,” Connor quipped. Connor, who was recently named VES’ assistant director of undergraduate studies for film studies, is also a Crimson editor.
Lawrence D. Bobo, acting chair of the Af-Am department, confirmed that Mitchell is expected back in that department next year.
Connor said the decision to consider inviting Mitchell back was made by members of Harvard’s film studies and VES faculty in the last two weeks.
