Activities

Heather Hurst, associate professor of anthropology, was named a Frederick Burkhardt fellow by the American Council of Learned Societies. The fellowship program is designed to aid recently tenured faculty and is funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Burkhardt fellowships carry a $95,000 stipend and a $7,500 research budget and allow awardees to take up yearlong residencies at institutions whose resources and scholarly communities are suited to facilitate a proposed research project. Hurst's project is titled "IDEAS in Cultural Heritage: Preserving Maya Murals through Imaging, Documentation, Education, Access, and Sustainability—Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage at Yale University in 2018–2019."
