Welcome to the Leon Levy Center for Biography at the CUNY Graduate Center. Established by a gift from the Leon Levy Foundation, the Leon Levy Center for Biography aims to identify, support and present excellence and innovation in biography.

Envisioned as a hub for writers, scholars, students and readers of the genre, the Leon Levy Center for Biography seeks to build connections between independent and university-affiliated biographers working in print, film, visual arts and new media across academic disciplines. Through public programs, an annual conference and lecture we endeavor to raise the profile of biography within the academy and cultivate lively interdisciplinary discussion about biography in our time.
