Anthropology faculty member Todd Meyers awarded 2013 ACLS Collaborative Research Fellowship

The American Council of Learned Societies recently announced the recipients of the 2013 Collaborative Research Fellowships. Scholars are funded for research that crosses boundaries of discipline, methodology and geography to undertake new research projects that will result in joint publications. The program, which is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, aims to demonstrate the creative potential of collaborative research in the humanities and related social sciences.

This year's funding included anthropologist Todd Meyers (Assistant Professor, Wayne State University) and co-recipient historian Stefanos Geroulanos (Assistant Professor, New York University) who will study the shifts in medical and physiological thought spurred by the battlefield traumas of World War I, with a co-authored monograph entitled The Whole on the Verge of Collapse.
