Margaret Jacobs, Chancellor’s Professor of History, earned an American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship. The award supports Jacobs’ latest book, which will explore the post-World War II practice of non-Indian families fostering and adopting American Indian children. The project is a continuation of Jacobs’ Bancroft Prize-winning book, White Mother to a Dark Race: Settler Colonialism, Maternalism, and the Removal of Indigenous Children in the American West and Australia, 1880-1940.
