America History Faculty Fellowship

The 2021-22 Warren Center Faculty Fellowship will be on the theme of Slavery and the Universities led by Sven Beckert (History) and Evelynn Hammonds (History of Science).

This workshop will bring together scholars to systematically reflect on how such research can be elevated by considering how it contributes to a rethinking of the nation’s history as a whole. Selected scholars will share work in progress and take stock of the moment in which it emerged. We will consider the uses of these histories including the engagement of broader publics and addressing contemporary inequalities. The workshop will encourage further research on the relationship between universities and slavery, still in early stages. Scholars working on higher education and slavery in other parts of the world may apply.
