Huge congratulations to Dr. Seema Sohi for receiving the prestigious ! The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program provides philanthropic support for scholarship in the humanities and social sciences that addresses important and enduring issues confronting our society. The award is for a period of up to two years and its anticipated result is a book or major study. The criteria prioritize the originality and promise of the research, its potential impact on the field, and the scholar’s plans for communicating the findings to a broad audience.

Dr. Sohi's project, "We Are Each Other’s Magnitude and Bond: A History of Climate Justice from Warren County to the Sunrise Movement,” will investigate the intersection of the climate crisis, democracy, and political polarization. The first comprehensive history of the climate justice movement in the United States, it centers the work of Black, Indigenous, Latina, and Asian American women who have been unrecognized in environmental history, and yet who have played a leading role in the struggle to advance climate justice and, with it, the struggle to realize the promises of a multiracial and sustainable American democracy.
