The Program in Law and Public Affairs announced its fellows for the 2011-12 academic year on Wednesday.
Bernadette Atuahene, Michael Herz, Tayyab Mahmud, Michael McCann, Arzoo Osanloo and Camille Robcis were chosen to spend the following academic year working on their individual projects, participating in law-related seminars and helping to teach various programs on campus.
“This class of fellows is unusually diverse in the range of countries they study and in the spectrum of disciplines they represent,” Kim Lane Scheppele, LAPA’s director, said in a press release.
“The fellows have a strong suit in issues of law and development, with scholars who focus on South Africa, Pakistan and Iran,” she explained. “In addition, we are pleased to welcome a strong empirical focus in the group, as the new fellows have done fieldwork in difficult places, archival research in far corners of the world and law-and-society scholarship in the U.S. and elsewhere.”
In the upcoming year, each fellow will present his or her research at a LAPA seminar.
The fellows were selected in a competitive process from a large interdisciplinary and international applicant pool.
