The Department Chair

Prof. Adaeze U.

Ph.D., Department Chair · Oxford

She decides who is worthy; the bridge tier decides what you can bear to spend. Worn whilst presiding over the deliberations that make and unmake careers, this piece carries the quiet authority of the corner office and the long table. Kant would call it the categorical imperative made wearable: act only according to that maxim by which you can will that it become a universal acquisition.

Hans Holbein, portrait of a magistrate (c. 1533)

Holbein painted authority as something one simply was, not performed; the Chair is offered in the same untroubled register.
