“This project has literally been career-transformative for me.” With a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, researchers will ensure that Mary Wollstonecraft’s treatises about human rights continue to inform scholarship across disciplines. Toward that end, Eileen Hunt will collaborate with Nancy Johnson to annotate and track variations in different editions of Wollstonecraft’s interrelated books: A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790) and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). This work will compose Vol. 4 in Oxford University Press’ six volume “Collected Works of Mary Wollstonecraft.” Hunt is a professor of political science in the University of Notre Dame - College of Arts & Letters, and a fellow in the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame, the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, and the Kellogg Institute for International Studies. Nancy Johnson is a SUNY New Paltz associate dean and English professor. Learn more about the pathways this research stream will create: https://lnkd.in/gmZhcYcA
