A public history genius
This year’s MacArthur fellows have been announced, and I was delighted to see that Tiya Miles, a public historian at the University of Michigan whose work on Afro-Cherokee history won an NCPH book award this year, was one of the winners. (Also, she’s a Minnesota grad.) Many congratulations!
Another historian was among the winners–Jacob Soll, who does early modern book and political history.
