The department is pleased to announce that Professor Linda Nash recently received a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for research on her new project, "American Engineers and Hydroelectric Development Projects in the US and Afghanistan." With the help of this funding, Nash seeks to examine how Americans' approach to postwar development was shaped by the nation's abundant resources and its history of settler colonialism in the American West.
More details are available at the Simpson Center.
Congratulations Linda!
