Nisrin Elamin, an assistant professor in the department of anthropology at the Faculty of Arts & Science and the African Studies Program at New College, has been awarded a 2024 American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Fellowship.
The fellowships are presented annually to “scholars who are poised to make original and significant contributions to knowledge in any field of the humanities or interpretive social sciences.”
Elamin’s work investigates the connections between land, race, belonging and empire-making in Sudan and the broader Sahel region.
Her ACLS fellowship will support the completion of a book project titled Stratified Enclosures: Land, Capital and Empire-Making in Central Sudan.
