Charles H.F. Davis III and Rona Carter named Institute for the Humanities 2025 Fellows

Assistant Professor Charles H.F. Davis III and Associate Professor Rona Carter have both received fellowships from the U-M Institute for the Humanities, reports the University Record.

The Institute for the Humanities supports work that examines humanities traditions broadly across space and time; strengthens connections among the humanities, the arts, and disciplines across the university; and brings the humanities to public life. Each year the institute provides fellowships for U-M faculty, graduate students and visiting scholars who work on scholarly and artistic projects. It also offers a public humanities internship program and a wide array of public and scholarly events, including lectures, workshops and discussions.

As a Summer 2025 Fellow, Davis will work on his project titled “Imagined Futures of Black Faculty.” Carter will pursue her project, “Empowering Black Girls Through Digital Narratives: Exploring the Social Implications of Off-Time Pubertal Development” during her 2025-2026 Faculty Fellowship.
