Image: The History Department is pleased to welcome the eight summer History Fellows chosen to participate in an intensive, month-long institute July 5 - 28. Under the direction of Georgia's interdisciplinary faculty, Fellows will conduct archival research, formulate original arguments, and share their findings. Summer Fellows spend a month in Athens, Georgia, living on campus and immersing themselves in historical research. The program introduces participants to the advanced study of history in all geographic areas and time periods. Under the supervision of Georgia's stellar faculty, fellows learn how to work in archival materials, interpret photography and material culture, create digital projects and podcasts, formulate arguments about the past, and manage their own research projects. Fellows spend considerable time outside of the classroom as well, taking historical bus and walking tours, going behind-the-scenes of the University’s Special Collections, attending historical events, lectures, book-signings, and film screenings. You can read more about the Fellows and our program here. Thanks to the Parker family, the Willson Center Digital Humanities Lab, and UGA’s Center for Geospatial Research for their support.
