Adam Leeds, 2020 - 2021 Heyman Fellow

Assistant Professor Adam Leeds is the recipient of the 2020 - 2021 Heyman Fellowship. Funded by the Office of the Executive Vice-President of the Arts & Sciences, the Heyman Center Fellowships provide four junior and four senior Columbia faculty with course relief during the academic year. These fellowships allow faculty to reduce their teaching loads to a minimum of one course per semester during the award year in order to conduct research and to participate in a regular weekly seminar, chaired by the Heyman Fellows Seminar Director (a member of the Governing Board of the Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities). In 2020-2021, we anticipate the seminar directors to be Eugenia Lean (EALAC) and Dorothea Von Mücke (German). For more information on the Heyman Fellowship, please click here.
