Is Christopher lasch also known as Kit Lasch?

Answer 1

Indeed, the late Christopher Lasch was known to his friends and colleagues at the University of Rochester as Kit Lasch (though graduate students almost always addressed him as Prof Lasch). This is well known, and even today faculty, particularly in the U of R History Department, would refer to or know of him as such. So Kit as the diminutive regularly used to refer to Christopher Lasch is easily verified.
