Congratulations to Eric Jennings for being appointed Distinguished Professor in the History of France and the Francophonie!

We are very happy to announce that Eric Jennings has just been appointed Distinguished Professor in the History of France and the Francophonie. This is a testament to the impressive quality and international impact of Eric’s award-winning research into the dynamics around France and its colonial empire through the course of the twentieth century and particularly during World War II. The Distinguished Professorship is a great credit to him and a benefit to the entire Department. Eric’s fourth monograph is coming out shortly in English, having already appeared last year in French, and he will be spending the next year in France on a J.S. Guggenheim Fellowship working on his next monograph. Please join us in congratulating him very warmly.
