Professor Emerita, Anthropology
Project Director, Mass Humanities Grant for "Native Strategies: Tracking the Life Choices Made by Indigenous Families in Western Massachusetts During the American Revolution." The “Native Strategies” project highlights the life choices made by Native families in Western Massachusetts amid the social and military chaos of the American Revolution, which held promise for their white neighbors. The public programs resulting from new research - essays, lectures, walking tours, and staged readings of two specially created plays - will offer an inclusive narrative of how Native people experienced the American Revolutionary period and the strategies they used to survive it.

Conn, PeterPeter Conn

Vartan Gregorian Professor of English and Professor of Education
Published Thomas Sully's Philadelphians: Painting the Athens of America.

Thomas Sully is widely regarded as perhaps the most important portrait painter of the antebellum years. Using those portraits, Thomas Sully's Philadelphians: Painting the Athens of America, many of the people, institutions, and events that combined to make Philadelphia, from the Revolution until the 1840s, at once the most cosmopolitan and most racially embattled city in America. The book approaches Sully’s portraits as visual documents in the history of Philadelphia in the first half of the nineteenth century.
