The department of history is proud to announce that it has awarded the Spring 2012 Walbolt Dissertation Fellowship to Kevin Kokomoor. His dissertation, "Africans, Indians, and the Spanish Frontier: 1784-1821," explores the contested terrain of northern Florida and southern Georgia at the turn of the nineteenth century. Kokomoor, who has already published part of his research in an award-winning article, will use the Walbolt Fellowship to continue his examination of the hundreds of escaped African slaves and various Native American peoples who made their homes in this volatile region. Kokomoor will use the Walbolt Fellowship to finish his research at the Newberry Library, the Georgia State Archives, and several other archives. Kokomoor is a student of Dr. Andrew Frank.
We are delighted to welcome Kurt Piehler, the new director of the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience, to the FSU history department. Dr. Piehler is a specialist in twentieth century American history, and has published widely. He received his Ph.D. from Rutgers, where he was founding director (1994-1998) of the Rutgers Oral History Archives of World War II. He comes to us from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
