Education Professor and Scholar Awarded Two Prominent Fellowships Richard Benson, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Education, has been awarded a 2018-2019 W. E. B. Du Bois Visiting Scholars Fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Amherst as well as a C.L.R. James Research Fellowship by the African American Intellectual History Society. Both fellowships will support Dr. Benson’s work to finalize research and writing for his forthcoming book, “Funding the Revolution: Black Power, White Church Money and the Financial Architects of Black Radicalism 1966-1976.” He will spend this summer at UMass Amherst continuing to draft chapters for the book, collecting data for an upcoming article on Malcolm X and investigating more materials that he can use to teach his two courses at Spelman College. “The fellowship will give me the much needed time to complete my projects and build relationships with scholars and archivists who have made significant contributions in the fields of African-American studies and education,” he said. |
