I have been awarded a three-year New Directions Fellowship by the Mellon Foundation to support further training in the history and philosophy of science and ethics at Chicago, Princeton, and NYU. From the website: "New Directions Fellowships assist faculty members in the humanities, broadly understood to include the arts, history, languages, area studies, andzones of such fields as anthropology and geography that bridge the humanities and social sciences, who seek to acquire systematic training outside their own areas of special interest. The program is intended to enable strong scholars in the humanities to work on problems that interest them most, at an appropriately advanced level of sophistication. In addition to facilitating the work of individual faculty members, these awards should benefit humanistic scholarship more generally by encouraging the highest standards in cross-disciplinary research."
