The Department of History of Art is excited to share that Ph.D. Candidate Christy Sher has been named as one of fourteen recipients of the 2026-27 Society of Fellows faculty and Graduate Team Fellows awards. 

In an announcement from Global Arts and Humanities, the theme for the 2026-27 Society of Fellows seminar,  Cultures in Motion,  is described as follows: 

Contrary to past and present efforts to control cultural differences or prohibit mobility in pursuit of cultural stasis, Cultures in Motion envisions culture as dynamic, resilient and resistant to fixity. Fellows' projects engage with the reach of cultural circulation across time and space and methodological considerations of scale, and how cultural exchanges acquire or do not acquire larger significance.
