萨拉·菲利普斯正在写一本关于一个技术性很强的主题的书。 第二次世界大战后的几十年里，越来越少的美国农民生产出了大量过剩的粮食，这引发了争论，她说，“一些人相信美国农业的丰富总能找到市场，另一些人则认为美国需要限制生产”，以保护农场和生产模式的多样性。 These conflicting values shape debates about food production even today, according to 菲利普斯 (GRS’04), a College of Arts & Sciences associate professor of history.

Hoping to make her book, 《富足的代价：战后美国从农业到食品政治》, accessible to lay readers, 菲利普斯 just got a big hand. She is among nine 新濠影汇赌场 members chosen as senior or junior research fellows for the coming academic year by the 人文中心 (BUCH).

BUCH的学生有一个学期的假期——以及中心的办公空间——来为他们的奖学金工作。 该中心为每位入选教员所在的院系提供课程替代基金。 新濠影汇线上赌场研究员们每月开会讨论他们的工作。 “我期待着从所有这些伟大的学者那里得到帮助和灵感，”菲利普斯说。

As is another 2017–2018 fellow, 乔纳森·克洛文, a CAS religion professor. 他已经计划了一个秋季休假，“BUCH奖学金带来了巨大的变化，它将我的休假时间从一个学期扩展到一整年，并让我与一个跨学科的人文学者小组交谈，讨论我们正在进行的工作。” Klawans plans a monograph on 异端、伪造和新奇：构建和跨越古代犹太教的边界, premised in part on the idea that scholars continue to be fooled by ancient Jewish and Christian forgeries. (例如，他会不同意他所谓的学术共识，即一篇古代文本《伪福昔利德的句子》是由犹太人写的； 克洛文认为这是一位早期基督徒的作品。)

For 苏珊Mizruchi, who assumed the center’s directorship last July, the past academic year was her first time overseeing the fellows, and it has her excited about the coming year’s crop.

中科院的英语教授Mizruchi说：“在我们每周的会议上展示的智力能量是一件令人高兴的事情，每学期的小组都从不同的新濠影汇赌场和新濠影汇线上赌场研究生群体转变为一个民主的学者社区。” “同样值得注意的是，每个学期都会出现一个共同的主题，尽管这两个研讨会最初都不是这样组织的。”

除了菲利普斯和克洛文，其他2017-2018年杰弗里亨德森高级新濠影汇线上赌场研究员及其新濠影汇线上赌场研究课题是：
