2018-19 ICS FELLOWS TO EXAMINE PERSONAL, SOCIAL, HISTORICAL ISSUES
The Institute for the Study of Culture and Society (ICS) has announced its Faculty Fellows for 2018-19. ICS supports faculty in conducting innovative academic work, in part by freeing selected Fellows from teaching and service responsibilities for one semester in order to devote unimpeded time to research and/or creative projects.
To be selected for a fellowship, applicants must present projects with both intellectual and social relevance, and that can engage the broader public — an important goal of ICS. The Fellows will also each share their work in a public lecture.
Chosen for next year were Drs. Lisa Hanasono, associate professor of media and communication; Lara Martin Lengel, professor of media and communication; Melissa Miller, associate professor of political science; and Arne Spohr, associate professor of musicology.
“I am really excited and inspired by next year’s fellows, whose work is directly engaged with crucial social issues, from human trafficking to social stigma around gender and race,” said Dr. Jolie Sheffer, ICS director. Each Fellow is also committed to sharing their work with the public and to collaborating with community organizations, improving their research and enriching our region.”
