Two Yale doctoral candidates and an alumna of the University have been awarded research fellowships by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.

The fellowship winners are Joshua B. Guild, a doctoral candidate in the Departments of African-American Studies and History; James M. Lundberg, a doctoral candidate in history; and Roseanne Adderly, an associate professor in the Department of History at Tulane University who received her B.A. in history and Latin American studies from Yale.

Guild will conduct research at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. His project title is "You Can't Go Home Again: Migration, Citizenship and Black Community in Brooklyn, New York, and London, England, from World War II to 1980." A graduate of Wesleyan University, Guild is the recipient of numerous awards, including a Fox Fellowship at Cambridge University, a Chavez/Eastman/Marshall Dissertation Fellowship at Dartmouth College and a Yale University Dissertation Scholarship. He also studied at the University of Ghana at the Institute of African Studies as a visiting student.

Lundberg's project title is "Reading Horace Greeley's America, 1834-1872." He conducted research at the main branch of the New York Public Library. He is a graduate of Connecticut College, where he was a Winthrop Scholar and recipient of the Oakes Ames Prize, the Hanna Hafkesbrink Award, the James A. Baird Prize, the Peter Z. Yozell Prize and the Connecticut College Research Prize.

She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania and was awarded a Fulbright-IIE Fellowship to conduct research at the University of the West Indies in Saint Augustine, Trinidad, for her disseration "'New Negroes from Africa': Culture and Community Among Liberated Africans in the Bahamas and Trinidad, 1810-1900." Her book of the same title is to be published by Indiana University Press in 2006.

The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History awards short-term fellowships in several categories: research fellowships for postdoctoral scholars at every faculty rank, dissertation fellowships for doctoral students who have completed exams and begun dissertation reading and writing, and research fellowships for journalists and independent scholars.
