In this new series, we highlight former Fellows’ monographs that grew out of their residency projects at the Society for the Humanities. We begin with Cornell professor of comparative literature, Naminata Diabate, Faculty Fellow 2016-17 "Skin" year. Her book, Naked Agency: Genital Cursing and Biopolitics in Africa, was published earlier this month by Duke University Press.

The Society for the Humanities is pleased to announce its 2020-21 roster of FABRICATION Fellows.
