The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded Andrew Bernstein, Associate Professor of History and Department Chair, a much-sought after NEH Summer Stipend. This highly competitive program provides scholars with a $6,000 stipend for two months of full-time research and/or writing. This award will enable Dr. Bernstein to spend Summer 2012 continuing research on and writing chapters of his book, Fuji: A Mountain in the Making. As indicated in his proposal, this book will “resituate and augment conventional views of Fuji to create something new: a comprehensive ‘environmental biography’ of the mountain that does it justice as an actor in, and product of, both the physical world and the human imagination.”
