Dr. P. Gabrielle Foreman (PhD ’92) has been named a 2022 MacArthur Fellow–colloquially called a “genius grant”!  It is among the highest honors scholars for scholars in our fields. Dr. Foreman is a professor of American Literature, African American Studies, and History at Pennsylvania State University, and the director of the Center for Black Digital Research. How terrific that a PhD in Ethnic Studies here at Berkeley was part of her journey!
