Three FAS faculty were selected from a pool of over 3,500 applicants to join the 2025 class of Guggenheim Fellows.  

Marie-Helene Bertino, Lecturer in English and the Ritvo-Slifka Writer in Residence; Molly Brunson, Associate Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures; and Oona Hathaway, Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law and of Political Science, were selected from a pool of nearly 3,500 applicants to become members of the 100th class of Guggenheim Fellows.

“We're incredibly proud to see three of our FAS humanities colleagues honored among this year's class of Guggenheim Fellows—it's a testament to their outstanding art and scholarship,” said Steven Wilkinson, Dean of the FAS. “We're lucky to count them as members of our community and can't wait to see what else they achieve with this support and recognition of their talents.”

Five Yale faculty were honored in this year’s class of Guggenheim Fellowships: Bertino, Brunson, Hathaway, Katherine Balch (School of Music), and Tommy Kha (School of Art).

“We believe that these creative thinkers can take on the challenges we all face today and guide our society towards a better and more hopeful future,” said Edward Hirsch, President of the Guggenheim Foundation.
