The RCC Welcomes New Carson Fellows, January 2011

January sees the arrival of two new Carson fellows.

05.01.2011

Two new Carson fellows have joined us this month, marking the beginning of a successful new year. Marc Elie, a historian focusing on disasters in the Soviet Union, comes to us from Paris via Moscow. He will spend his three month stay at the Carson Center researching scientists and natural calamities in twentieth-century Russia.

Our second newcomer, Anne Milne, is an ecocritic specializing in restoration and eighteenth-century British literature. She is a professor in the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences Program at the University of Guelph, Canada. While at the RCC, Milne will be working on a project that explores bioregionalism and local culture in eighteenth-century Britain as it is reflected in the literary and cultural landscape of the rural laboring classes.

The RCC is also pleased to welcome back Carson fellow Ingo Heidbrink, who will resume his work on the history of risk acceptance in the context of industrial development in Arctic/Greenlandic environments.

For more information on Marc Elie, Anne Milne, Ingo Heidbrink, and their current research projects, see their profiles on our Fellows section.
