The 2015 Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Fellows are from 29 universities and nearly 20 fields of humanistic study.
Seventy awards were made to faculty of all ranks and independent scholars from across the humanities and humanistic social sciences.
The two programs, generously funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, support scholars who are embarking on ambitious, large-scale research projects at critical stages in their academic careers.
Selected from a highly competitive field of applicants, the awardees will dedicate a year to projects that further the digital transformation of humanistic research.
The scholars selected for funding cross boundaries of discipline, methodology, and geography to undertake new research projects that will result in joint publications.
Awards were made across a dozen programs to scholars working in the humanities and humanistic social sciences
