60th Anniversary Series – Sandria Freitag and Thomas Metcalf on fellowships, friendships, and AIIS

  • Summary

  • This year, the American Institute of Indian Studies turns 60! To celebrate the history of AIIS, we have launched a year-long series of audio interviews exploring the history of AIIS over the last 60 years including the founding of the institute, its impact on scholarship and students, and the future of AIIS.

    In this episode of our 60th anniversary series, Sandria Freitag, Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of History at NC State University and leader of the CAORC-AIIS faculty development seminars, interviews Thomas Metcalf, Emeritus Professor of History and Sarah Kailath Professor of Indian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley and former AIIS Senior fellow and Chair of the Board of Trustees. In their interview, they reminisce about the early days of AIIS research fellowships, the memorable relationships created through AIIS over the years, and the forms AIIS programs should take in the future.
