Please join us in congratulating Rhetoric PhD, Suzanne Herrera Li Puma, on receiving an ACLS Leading Edge Fellowship! The Leading Edge Fellowship program aims to demonstrate the potential of people with advanced degrees in the humanities and humanistic social sciences to solve problems outside the academy. In the first two cycles of the fellowship program, recent PhDs in the humanities will help communities respond to issues caused by the Covid-19 crisis and advance public understanding of the pandemic. Suzanne Herrera Li Puma was appointed to Breakthrough for the project Assessing the Cultural Impact of Our Stories: In Vivid Color, a Multimedia Project. Read the abstract here.

Since its founding in 1919, the American Council of Learned Societies has provided the humanities and related social sciences with leadership, opportunities for innovation, and national and international representation.
