Recent visiting researchers

Throughout the year, the Ransom Center hosts fellows who conduct in-depth research in the Ransom Center collections. Since the inauguration of the Center’s fellowship program in 1990, fellowship awards have supported more than 1,000 researcher visits. In addition to Ransom Center fellowships, an ongoing partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) supports AHRC-funded fellows from the United Kingdom.

Here are some of the visiting fellows from the past two months.

Visiting from Grinnell College, research fellow John Garrison worked on “Shakespeare and the Afterlife,” a book to be published by Oxford University Press.
Arts and Humanities Research Council fellow Hilary White worked with the Christine Brooke-Rose papers during her 3 months here from the University of Manchester.
