Julia Osman, institute director and associate professor of history, said the fellows program, 鈥渁llows faculty some of the much-needed time to analyze research and collect data so that they can publish books or articles on their particular topics.
鈥淚 am excited for them to share their works in progress with the university and the public, so that anyone can see what kind of work humanities scholars are tackling. This also is an opportunity for people to ask about these scholars鈥 topics and work methods,鈥 Osman said.
The faculty members were awarded their fellowships in August 2022, and they began in January of this year. They are members of the institute鈥檚 second fellowship cohort.
