During 2012-2013, Truman history professor Daniel Mandell will focus on research and writing at the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) in Worchester, Mass., thanks to a long-term fellowship awarded by the AAS and the National Endowment for the Humanities.\u00a0 He will also spend a week as a visiting scholar at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies.\u00a0 Mandell\u2019s project, which began with his sabbatical in 2007, is a study of changing concepts of equality in America.<\/p>\n
The AAS, founded 200 years ago, is one of the oldest research libraries in the United States, with one of the most complete holdings of materials published in America before 1850.\u00a0 The NEH provides much of the funding for the Society to give three long-term research fellowships every year to scholars who apply on an international competitive basis.\u00a0 Mandell will spend most of his time at the Society reading relevant children\u2019s literature, newspapers, pamphlets, and periodicals published between 1790 and 1850,.\u00a0 He also expects to write large segments of the book manuscript, which will examine questions of class and ideas of equality from 1600 through 1880.<\/p>\n
The Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, founded in 1930, is one of the world\u2019s foremost centers for groundbreaking theoretical science and humanities research, with closely linked Schools of Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Historical Studies.\u00a0 Every year each of the Schools brings together scholars to conduct and share research on aspects of a broad topic; Mandell will be participating in the School of Social Studies, which this coming year will focus on the theme of \u201cEconomics and Politics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
