Lauren Jarvis, an associate professor of history, has been selected for a National Humanities Center summer residency to work on an individual humanities-related research project.
The NHC announced the appointment of 40 scholars for its summer residency program, recognizing leading humanists from universities and colleges in 19 U.S. states and India. The new scholars constitute the seventh class of summer residents since the NHC initiated the program in 2018.
Jarvis, who also holds an adjunct appointment in the African, African American and diaspora studies department, studies the history of South Africa, with special interest in how people lived through and with extreme economic inequality. During her summer residency, Jarvis will be working on a book project that traces how South Africans shaped international debates about economic inequality in the 20th century.
