We’re delighted to share a list of the latest publications by JHI alumni, whose fellowship research has come to fruition in a wide range of new books this year. From ancient economies and Indigenous art and reconciliation, to the history of vanilla and refugee urbanism, these works highlight the breadth and vitality of scholarship cultivated at the Jackman Humanities Institute. Congratulations to all the authors! If your publication is missing from the list, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Associate Director Kim Yates so we can include your work in our records.
