<p>2013</a> Fellows in the United States and Canada - John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation</p>
<p>The Guggenheim Foundation has just announced its new class of Fellows.</p>
<p>Guggenheim Fellowships are among the most sought-after of funding programs for university faculty and individuals. They are awarded to artists, scholars of the humanities and scientists with the heaviest emphasis being in the arts and humanities.</p>
<p>The new class of 175 Fellows was chosen from almost 3,000 applicants.</p>
<p>Many have the false impression that Princeton is primarily strong in the hard sciences and weaker in the arts and humanities. The Guggenheims, which are heavily directed toward the humanities and creative arts, provide evidence of the strength of those departments at Princeton.</p>
<p>This year, three Princeton faculty members were named Fellows:</p>
<p>D. Graham Burnett, Professor of History and History of Science
Deana Lawson, Photographer, Brooklyn, New York, and Lecturer in Visual Arts
Colson Whitehead, Writer, New York City, and Visiting Lecturer in Creative Writing</p>
