ASLH Funded Projects, 2022

The ASLH Projects and Proposals committee (chaired by Sara Mayeux, Vanderbilt) has announced support for three projects. Please join us in offering thanks to the committee members, and congratulations to the recipients.

  • Hardeep Dhillon and Maddalena Marinari, “Illustrating Law: America’s Immigrants and the Struggle for U.S. Citizenship.” Illustrating Law proposes to create a graphic novel and website to accompany a special issue on the sociolegal history of U.S. citizenship and immigration during the long twentieth century, which the applicants are co-editing for the Journal of American Ethnic History.
  • Cynthia Farid et al., “The Making of Minorities in South Asia: Future Directions for History and Pedagogy.” The Making of Minorities convenes an international workshop, publish an edited volume, and develop an accompanying podcast about the issue of minority rights in South Asian legal history.
  • Dennis J. Wieboldt III, “Boston-Area Legal History Roundtable.” The Roundtable proposes to run a workshop series for graduate students working on legal history topics, and to build community among junior scholars whose networks were underdeveloped because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
