Maya Larson, who received her PhD in Comparative Literature last spring, has been offered an appointment as an ACLS Emerging Voices Postdoctoral Fellow in Translation Studies at Princeton University. The American Council of Learned Societies created the Emerging Voices Fellowship program to support early career scholars whose voices, perspectives, and broad visions will strengthen institutions of higher education and humanistic disciplines in the years to come. Fellows take up two-year residential placements with members of ACLS’s Research University Consortium, where they can advance their research and professional development while contributing to the teaching, programming, and administrative work of their host university.
