Anne Blankenship, Assistant Professor of History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies at North Dakota State University and a graduate of UNC’s PhD program in Religious Studies, has been selected as part of the 2019 cohort of the Young Scholars in American Religion.

This program, which is based at the Center for the Study of Religion & American Culture at Indiana University and is supported by the Lilly Endowment, “assists… early career scholars in the improvement of their teaching and research and in the development of professional communities.” It also “includes a seminar devoted to such other professional issues as constructing a tenure portfolio, publication, grant writing, and department politics.”

We congratulate Anne on this honor, and we trust it will enable her to attain new heights in her teaching and research.
