FLETCHER JONES DISTINGUISHED FOUNDATION FELLOW

Andy Wood, Professor, History, Durham University

Topic: Letters of Blood and Fire: Authority and Resistance in England, 1500-1640

Andrew Wood is originally from Greater Manchester. He was lucky to study as an undergraduate at the University of York, in the Department of History (1985-88). He was equally fortunate to work with Keith Wrightson, who supervised his doctoral work at Jesus College, Cambridge.

He has held a Scouloudi Research Fellowship at the Institute of Historical Research (1992-3), a British Academy Research Fellowship at University College London (1995-6), a Leverhulme Research Fellowship (2006-8), a Fellowship at Durham University’s Institute of Advanced Study (2012), a Fellowship at the Folger Shakespeare Library (2016), and a Fellowship at the Henry E. Huntington Library (2017).

ROBERT C. RITCHIE DISTINGUISHED FELLOW

Andrés Reséndez, Professor, History, UC Davis

Topic: The Magellan Exchange: Transpacific Contact and How America Changed China and China Changed the World

Andrés Reséndez is a professor of history at the University of California, Davis. A native of Mexico City, he studied international relations, briefly went into politics, and served as a consultant for historical soap operas before receiving a Ph.D. in history. He has taught at Yale University and the University of Helsinki. His first book, Changing National Identities at the Frontier (2005), explores how Spanish speakers, Native Americans, and Anglo-American settlers living in Texas and New Mexico came to think of themselves as members of one national community or another in the years leading up to the U.S.-Mexico War. A Land So Strange (2007) looks at North America at the dawn of European colonization through the eyes of the last four survivors of a disastrous expedition to Florida in the 1520s. The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America (2016), winner of the Bancroft Prize and finalist for the National Book Award, considers the enslavement of hundreds of thousands of Indians in the Caribbean, Mexico, and the American Southwest between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. His latest book Conquering the Pacific: An Unknown Mariner and the Final Great Voyage of the Age of Discovery (2021) is about the tumultuous expedition that first went from America to Asia and back, thus transforming the Pacific Ocean into a vital space of contact and exchange in 1565.

DIBNER RESEARCH FELLOW IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Bennett Jones, Post-doc, History, Northwestern University

Topic: ‘The Indians Say’: Settler Colonialism and the Scientific Study of North America, 1722 to 1848

E. Bennett Jones (PhD, Northwestern University, 2021) is a historian of science who studies the intersections between American natural history, settler colonialism, and Indigenous sovereignty through the lens of micro-history. At The Huntington, Bennett will be working on her first book project, ‘The Indians Say’: Settler Colonialism and the Scientific Study of North America, 1722 to 1848. ‘The Indians Say’ reconstructs moments of knowledge transmission between Anglophone naturalists and argues that scientific information was a diplomatic resource used in social and political negotiations between settlers and Indigenous peoples prior to the era of Indian Removal. Bennett's research draws on case studies centered in the early eighteenth-century Carolina piedmont, the late eighteenth-century Eastern Woodlands, the early nineteenth-century Upper Mississippi River valley, and mid nineteenth-century Samoa. In addition to her interest in the history of natural history, Bennett also holds a masters' in museum studies (University of Florida, 2014) and studies the history of American natural history museums.

KEMBLE FELLOWSHIP IN MARITIME HISTORY

Kevin Dawson, Associate Professor, History, UC Merced

Topic: African Diaspora Maritime History

Kevin Dawson is an associate professor of history at UC Merced. He received his Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina in 2005. He was a 2004–2005 Ford Dissertation Fellow and his article “Enslaved Swimmers and Divers in the Atlantic World” received the 2005 Louis Pelzer Memorial Award from the Organization of American Historians. His research is situated at the historiographic crossroads of Atlantic history and the Africa diaspora and examines swimming, underwater diving, surfing, canoe-making, canoeing, and fishing to consider how Atlantic Africans and members of the African diaspora used water as a cultural space, expanding the terrain scholars of Atlantic history study by tens of thousands of miles both above and below the water’s surface. His first book, Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018), considers how saltwater captives transmitted their African maritime culture and skills to the Americas, where they were re-created and creatively re-imagined to provide themselves with cultural anchors linking them to their homelands while informing the development of social and cultural bonds within their new multiethnic slave communities.

BARBARA THOM POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW

Gabriel Bloomfield, Assistant Professor, English, United States Naval Academy

Topic: Lyric Reading: Interpretive Poetics in the Age of Donne

Gabriel Bloomfield is Assistant Professor of English at the United States Naval Academy. His work focuses on the intersections of religious and literary culture in early modern England, with special attention to lyric poetry, preaching practice, and the Bible. He has published articles on John Donne's homiletics in Studies in Philology, George Herbert's typography in English Literary History, and Hamlet's psalmody in Shakespeare Quarterly. New work, incongruously concerning queer reading in the cult film Clue, is forthcoming in Camera Obscura. At the Huntington, he is working on his first book manuscript, Lyric Reading: Interpretive Poetics in the Age of Donne. This project argues that English devotional poetry from Anne Lock to John Milton both performed and theorized the art of interpretation, merging the exegetical methods of the early modern pulpit with the formal technologies of the lyric. This "lyric reading" became the methodological foundation for the literary-critical practice of close reading as it was formulated in the 20th-century Anglo-American academy.

BARBARA THOM POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW

Juliet Sperling, Assistant Professor, Art History, University of Washington

Topic: Tactile Encounter and the Moving Image in American Art

Juliet Sperling is an Assistant Professor of Art History and Kollar Endowed Chair in American Art in the School of Art + Art History + Design at the University of Washington.

FELLOW IN THE ROGERS/RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AT CALTECH AND THE HUNTINGTON

Dmitri Levitin, Fellow, Oxford University

Topic: The Myth of English Exceptionalism

Dmitri Levitin completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2010. He was then appointed a Research Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge. Since October 2015, He has been a Research Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. He has also held positions at the Folger Library in Washington D.C. (Visiting Fellow, 2013), the University of Edinburgh (Chancellor’s Fellow, 2013–14), and at the Centre for Research in Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities in Cambridge (2014–15). In 2016 he received the inaugural Leszek Kołakowski Prize in Intellectual History, awarded by the Foundation for Polish Science to the world’s leading early career scholar in the subject. He has published extensively on philosophical, scientific, medical, religious, legal and political thought in early modern Europe. His first book, Ancient Wisdom in the Age of the New Science (Cambridge, 2015), demonstrates how almost all educated people in the seventeenth century engaged deeply with the history of ancient philosophy, in stark contrast to the still prevalent stereotype of the period as one that witnessed a move away from humanistic modes of thought. His current monograph project, provisionally entitled An age of erudition, explores, largely on the basis of previously untapped manuscript sources, how from the late sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries ideas about religion and theology were historicised at an institutional level, especially in the universities, and how that institutionalisation in turn led to wider cultural awareness of the historical dimension to Christianity and other religions.
