The Department of Cinema of Media Studies is delighted to announce that Jennifer M. Bean has been awarded a NEH Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the 2023-2024 academic year. The NEH fellowship supports the nation’s most significant humanities projects.
In a highly competitive application process, NEH funded seven percent of the Fellowships proposals that it received. Bean’s application was selected for support after completing a rigorous three-step review process. The fellowship provides recipients time to conduct research or to produce books, monographs, pee-reviewed articles, e-books, digital materials translations, or critical editions.
Bean’s book project “Junking Modernity: Early Cinema, globalization, and the Question of History” will research the global circulation of discarded cinematic film prints in the early twentieth century.
Congratulations Jennifer!
