Mellon Foundation Grant

Liz Rodrigues, associate professor and humanities and digital scholarship librarian, will pursue a Mellon New Directions Fellowship, supported by a grant of $220,000 awarded by the Mellon Foundation. The Mellon New Directions program allows mid-career scholars in the humanities to undertake formal training in fields outside their own. Rodrigues’s project, “Computing for Context, Computing as Context,” will examine African American and multiethnic autobiographies of the early 20th century.
