Another installment of an ongoing virtual series from Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) where we spotlight the innovative work of archival research fellows from around the globe. Held monthly, this series offers a unique opportunity to engage with the latest in archival research across various disciplines. Each session will feature a different fellow presenting their findings and exploring how their work sheds new light on history, scholarship and research.

May's lecture features Faith Lazar, 2024 James Ingebretsen Memorial Travel Fellow. Lazar is a PhD candidate in American Studies at New York University, where her research delves into the history of far-right paramilitary movements and the expansion of the federal security state in the United States during the 20th century.
