Michael Gordin, the Rosengarten Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Princeton, will serve as director of the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts, effective July 1. The Society of Fellows, a group of postdoctoral and faculty fellows, is dedicated to promoting innovative interdisciplinary approaches to scholarship and teaching in the humanities and humanities-related social sciences and sciences.
Each year the Society chooses a new cohort of Cotsen Fellows, recent recipients of the Ph.D., who are appointed for three-year terms to pursue research and to teach half-time in a home department or program at the University. The Cotsen fellowships were established in 1999 through the generosity of Charter Trustee Lloyd E. Cotsen and under the leadership of the Council of the Humanities.
