Dr. Bowes is the Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow for 2004 through 2006. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles for his dissertation entitled "Opportunity and Adversity: Indians and American Expansion in the Nineteenth Century Trans-Mississippi West." His research focuses on the movement of tribes in the Old Northwest in response to U.S. Indian Policy and the flood of American settlers from the late 1700s to the mid-1800s. He has already had experience as a Lecturer at UCLA, where he taught a course on the History of the American West. At Dartmouth he will be teaching the course on American Indian History: 1830 to Present in the Spring term, 2005. The Andrew W. Mellon Fellowships in Humanistic Studies are funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. There have been over 2,000 fellowships awarded since the competition began in 1982. Former Mellon Fellows are now teachers and scholars at some of the nation's top colleges and universities. The fellowships are designed to support exceptionally promising students as they pursue advanced study in the disciplines of the humanities. The Mellon Fellowship is a competitive award for first-year doctoral students only. Mellon Fellows carry a full course load during the fellowship. Each year, approximately 85 fellowships are awarded. | ||
