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.

Photo-copies of 2 articles by Dr. Salomon are included in her documentation file: "The Cosmogonic Riddles of Lalan Fakir," in Gender, Genre, and Power in South Asian Expressive Traditions, ed. by Appadurai, Korom, and Mills (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1991), pp. 267-304; "The Bauls," in Religions in India in Practice, ed. by Donald S.
