Lynn K. Nyhart Receives Guggenheim Fellowship Award
April 2011
Professor Lynn K. Nyhart has received a 2011 Guggenheim Fellowship Award in recognition of her many prior achievements and exceptional future promise. She was chosen from a group of nearly 3,000 applicants and was one of the two UW–Madison faculty to receive the award this year. This fellowship will support Nyhart’s current research on the history of concepts of biological individuality. Her project, “Parts and Wholes: The Biological Individual in the Nineteenth Century,” proposes a new history of individuality as a fundamental problem underlying mid-nineteenth-century biology, exploring how science mediated questions of autonomy, interdependence, and hierarchy within a rapidly modernizing Europe. Congratulations Lynn!
