Gabrielle Foreman appeared with Peter Miller, director of the American Academy in Rome, and Kelli Jones, Curator and Chair of African American Studies at Columbia on an ACLS-organized panel on “What Counts: MacArthur Fellows Reflect on Academic Reward Structures.”

The event took place on October 2 and was moderated by ACLS Vice President James Shulman and featured:

  • P. Gabrielle Foreman, Pennsylvania State University, 2022 MacArthur Foundation Fellow
  • Kellie Jones, Columbia University, 2016 MacArthur Foundation Fellow, 1994 Luce/ACLS Dissertation Fellowships in American Art
  • Peter Miller, American Academy in Rome, 1998 MacArthur Foundation Fellow

ACLS writes: “ACLS is grateful to the MacArthur Fellows Program for supporting this exciting new public panel series on how best to reward increasingly innovative scholarship in humanistic fields,” said ACLS Vice President James Shulman. “The topic of ‘what counts’ in humanistic scholarship has become increasingly urgent with the welcome diversification of academe and the rapid advancement of new technologies and research methods being introduced in these fields. Highlighting the achievements of scholars who have bent or broken the rules in forging their own paths, particularly when they have gained global recognition through being named MacArthur Fellows, will encourage all of us to think about faculty advancement in more pluralistic ways.”
