Associate Professor of History Peter Messer, 鈥淒ictated by Nature: Science, Theology, and Politics in Early American Natural History.鈥

Associate Professor of English Bonnie O鈥橬eill, 鈥淭he Good News from Plymouth Church: The Faith, Politics, and Celebrity of Henry Ward Beecher.鈥

鈥淯nlike other disciplines which report on collections of data, humanities scholars not only have to report and interpret but also weave analysis together, which takes a tremendous amount of time,鈥 said Julia Osman, director for MSU鈥檚 Institute for the Humanities and an associate professor of history. 鈥淭he end result of all that research and writing makes a substantial contribution to our knowledge of a subject.鈥 Osman said the fellowship provides dedicated time for fellows to actively work on their books.

Osman said the new fellows all merit time and support for their research, as well as a chance to work together as a cohort to discuss their studies, read drafts and provide feedback for one another.

Part of MSU鈥檚 College of Arts and Sciences, the Institute for the Humanities promotes research, scholarship and creative performances in the humanistic disciplines and raises their visibility, both within 亚洲色吧视频 and the broader community.
