McMahon Selected as Young Mellon Professor
Elisabeth McMahon of the Department of History has been selected as one of two Young Mellon Professors in the Humanities. Liz received her PhD from Indiana University and came to Tulane in 2007. Her book, Slavery and Emancipation in Islamic East Africa: From Honor to Respectability, has been accepted by Cambridge University Press. In this book, she breaks away from the traditional economic focus of historians to explore cultural and social practices after emancipation. In addition to her book, Liz has four articles in leading historical journals and two book chapters forthcoming. She is already working on a new book project in which she will explore emotions of freed people as reflected in the Swahili literary tradition. Using this unique focus, she hopes to recapture the values and emotions of the slave communities.
