Cameron Strang

Cameron B. Strang, a doctoral student in the Department of History, lists the prestigious 2012 Graduate Harrington Dissertation Fellowship, as just one among many other awards and accolades that have won him national recognition. Strang studies the history of science in early America and its borderlands, investigating traditions of knowledge first developed in the former French and Spanish colonies along the Gulf Coast, and suggesting how local forms of knowledge in this region shaped both science and territorial expansion in the United States on the whole.
