We’re pleased to announce the appointment of 29 Fellows for the 2026–27 academic year.

These leading scholars will come to the Center from universities and colleges in 15 US states and the District of Columbia, as well as Ghana. Chosen from 453 applicants, the newly appointed Fellows will constitute the forty-ninth class of resident scholars to be admitted since the Center opened in 1978. Each Fellow will work on an individual research project and will have the opportunity to share ideas in seminars, lectures, and conferences at the Center.
