Six University professors receive fellowships
BY ALICIA ADAMCZYK
Six LSA professors have received fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies for research and writing projects. The professors are among 88 faculty members nationwide who were awarded the fellowships.
ACLS is a private, nonprofit federation of 71 national scholarly organizations and is the preeminent representative of American scholarship in the humanities and related social sciences.
Philosophy prof. Elizabeth Anderson, Assistant History prof. Hussein Fancy and Martha Jones, associate professor of history and Afroamerican and African studies, received ACLS fellowships, which will give them financial support for one year of full-time research and writing.
Assistant Philosophy prof. Sarah Moss and Ellen Muehlberger, assistant professor of Near Eastern studies and history, were named as Charles A. Ryskamp Research Fellows. This fellowship allows advanced assistant professors and untenured associate professors in the humanities and related social science fields the time and resources to research "well-designed and carefully developed plans ."
Associate History prof. Christian de Pee received the Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowship, which supports recently tenured Humanities scholars and provides these scholars with resources to "pursue long-term, unusually ambitious projects."
"This year's fellows were chosen from among hundreds of excellent applications for their potential to create new knowledge that will improve our understanding of the world and its diverse cultures and societies," Nicole Stahlmann, the director of Fellowship Programs at ACLS, said in a release.
