We congratulate Professor Ann McGrath on her election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

This prestigious Academy recognizes and celebrates the excellence of its members, who are world leaders in the arts and sciences, business, philanthropy, and public affairs.

Professor McGrath stated: “I’m proud to be awarded such a high honour, which reflects well on the School of History, the College of Arts and Social Sciences, and the Australian National University. I appreciate the support that we have received for our projects, particularly for the Research Centre for Deep History”.

The other six members elected to the History Section this year include Professor Linda Colley of Princeton University and Tiya Miles of Harvard University. An induction and formal ceremony for new members will take place in September 2023 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
