Stephanie McCurry (Heyman Fellow in 2019-2020) has been awarded The New York Public Library’s Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers Fellowship. At the Cullman Center, she will be working on a book about the post-Civil War United States that identifies the intimate as a domain of power that reframes the challenge of the era.
