Three Harvard affiliates were awarded Guggenheim Fellowships this week, winning support for groundbreaking work in sociology, Jewish studies, and sculpture.Congratulations to all three recipients, but especially to:
Annette Yoshiko Reed, M.T.S. ’99, Krister Stendahl Professor of Divinity and professor of New Testament and early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School, will use the fellowship to complete a book exploring the cultural power of forgetting within Judaism, as well as a related project on Christian erasures of Jews and Judaism as epistemicide. This research will contribute to the theorization of forgetting in memory studies and Jewish studies by exploring the loss of the ancient Jewish literary heritage that was recovered during the mid-20th century with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.Professor Reed's work has been noted often at PaleoJudaica.
