Peter Holquist Awarded Cullman Center Fellowship

Associate Professor of History Peter Holquist has been named a 2013 fellow of New York Public Library's Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. The international fellowships are given to scholars whose work would directly benefit from access to the research collections at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. Renowned for the extraordinary comprehensiveness of its collections, the Library is one of the world's preeminent resources for a diverse range of scholarly subjects.

At the Center, Holquist will be working on his forthcoming book, “By Right of War”: The Discipline and Practice of International Law in Imperial Russia, 1868-1917, exploring the codification and extension of the laws of war in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Holquist is also the author of Making War, Forging Revolution: Russia's Continuum of Crisis and the founder and executive editor of the journal Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History.
