What an impressive list of outstanding scholars and fascinating topics. I can't wait to see what comes of some of these research plans!
A few other historical projects worth noticing on that list:
Lea VanderVelde, Josephine Witte Professor of Law, University of Iowa College of Law: Slavery and freedom in the law of the American frontier: 1818-57.
Tomoko Masuzawa, Professor of History and Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Michigan: A history of biblical studies and the 19th-century academy.
Bernard Haykel, Professor of Near Eastern Studies, Princeton University: A modern political history of Saudi Arabia.
Mr. Gerald Kutcher, Associate Professor of History, Binghamton University: A history of cancer therapies.
Louise McReynolds, Professor of History, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill: True crime and punishment in late Imperial Russia.
But that doesn't even scratch the surface of the full list, which foreshadows new work from Holly Hughes, Philip Gourevitch, Elizabeth Kolbert, Monique Truong, etc...
