<p>2011</a> Fellows - 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. The new class of 180 Fellows was chosen from over 3,000 applicants and NYU led the nation with seven Fellows.</p>
<p>Many have the false impression that Princeton is primarily strong in the hard sciences. 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, two Princeton faculty members were named Fellows along with a lecturer in studio arts.</p>
<p>Ms. Ann Agee, Artist, Brooklyn, New York, and Visiting Lecturer in Studio Art, Princeton University: Fine arts.</p>
<p>Mr. Michael Gordin, Professor of History, Princeton University: Scientific babel: communication and identity in Western chemistry since the fall of Latin.</p>
