| Summary: | The Report brings you news on the latest projects, initiatives, and developments from around the field. Michael J. Altman of the University of Alabama relays his experience in moving from subfield expertise to field-critical theorizing and how he brought others along for the journey. American Examples provides intellectual space for early career scholars to reframe a particular interest in things American into provocative illustrations of identity and social formation. With support from Altman’s home institution and later the Henry Luce Foundation, participants workshop and enhance their teaching, research, and public humanities efforts. |
