CHW affiliate Carolyn Rouse, the Ritter Professor of Anthropology, is among six Princeton faculty members and arts fellows honored with a 2025 Guggenheim Fellowship, which supports scholars in the creative arts, social sciences, natural sciences and humanities. This year's recipients also include Maria Chudnovsky, Thomas Conlan, yuniya edi kwon, Rhodri Lewis, and Peter S. Shin.

Rouse, who joined Princeton in 2000, was awarded the Guggenheim in the field of anthropology. Her research focuses on development and education, medical anthropology, religion, race, resistance, social inequality and visualizing complex ethnographic data. This spring she is teaching the graduate seminar “Field Research Practicum.” She is also a documentary filmmaker. 

A total of 198 American and Canadian scholars were selected to receive Guggenheims, which recognize both “prior career achievement and exceptional promise,” according to the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation announcement. This year marks the 100th class of fellows.
