Hirsch
Francine Hirsch, associate professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has been awarded a fellowship by the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS).
Hirsch, who specializes in Russian and Soviet history, is one of 65 fellows chosen from more than 1,000 applicants this year. The fellowships support research in the humanities and humanistic social sciences.
"ACLS employs a rigorous multi-stage peer-review process to ensure that humanities scholars select those fellows deemed to represent the very best in their fields,” says Matthew Goldfeder, director of fellowship programs at ACLS. "This year's fellows, chosen for their potential to create new knowledge that will improve our understanding of the world and its diverse cultures and societies, represent over 50 colleges and universities, and a vast array of humanities disciplines, including music, philosophy, art history, and sociology."
ACLS Fellowships provide salary replacement for scholars who are embarking on six to 12 months of full-time research and writing.
Hirsch's project is titled "Soviet Judgment at Nuremberg: A Cold War Story."
