CSLR Senior Fellow E. Brooks Holifield, Charles Howard Candler Professor of American Church History at Emory's Candler School of Theology, has been named a 2011 fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious honorary societies and a leading center for independent policy research.
Holifield joins 211 other new members in the class of 2011 who will be tapped to contribute to the academy’s studies in science and technology policy, global security, social policy and American institutions, the humanities and education.
“I am stunned and deeply honored. I have to say this is something I never expected,” said Holifield in learning of the recognition.
