Guggenheim Announces 2009 Fellowship Awards for the United States and Canada

Thanks to continued support from The Dorothy Tapper Goldman Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation was again able to offer a Fellowship in Constitutional Studies, a field inaugurated last year: Risa L. Goluboff, a professor of law and history at the University of Virginia Law School, will use her Guggenheim Fellowship to conduct research on the vagrancy laws of the 1960s. In the field of Translation, which was also offered for the first time last year, two Fellowships were awarded: Carl W. Ernst, the William R. Kenan, Jr., Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, will be preparing a translation and study of the poetry of al-Hallaj; and Howard C. Goldblatt, interim director of the University of Notre Dame's Center for Asian Studies, will be translating Mo Yan's Tanxiang Xing. Guggenheim Fellowship Awards, 2009
