SEA Featured Scholars

SEA Featured Scholars

The Society of Early Americanists launched a Scholar of the Month feature in October 2017, to highlight the exciting research and career achievements of SEA members through short interviews. It was coordinated first by Stacey Dearing, and from 2019 to 2023 by Kaden Ivy. Beginning in January 2024 we will honor four Featured Scholars each year. To nominate an SEA member for a future Featured Scholar profile, please email James Greene at James.Greene@indstate.edu.
