Historical NoteReturn to Top
Carol Goldberg Salomon (1948-2009) was an Asian Languages and Literature senior lecturer at the University of Washington (UW). Born in New York City, Salomon graduated with a B.A. from City College of New York in 1970 before earning a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in Bengali. In 1983, Salomon began teaching at the UW. Fluent in Bengali, Salomon especially loved and translated the musical poems of Lalan Fakir, a mystic born in the Bengal region in the 1700s whose songs helped popularize the Baul tradition.
