DIBNER RESEARCH FELLOW IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Topic: The Morality of the Moon: Science, Fiction, and Fable in Enlightenment MexicoRyan Kashanipour, Assistant Professor, University of Arizona
R.A. Kashanipour is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Arizona where he specializes in the history of medicine and science in early modern Latin America.

At The Huntingtotn, he will be working on his current book project The Morality of the Moon: Fable, Science, and Fiction in Enlightenment Mexico, examines how common people engaged with the discourse and practices of science. Microhistorical in its approach, this book uses the first known Latin American work of science fiction—a fable of a journey to the moon in the year 2510—as an entry point to examine the social and intellectual nature of Mexico in the eighteenth century.
DANA AND DAVID DORNSIFE FELLOW
Topic: Alien Belonging: Japanese American Incarceration & Resettlement During World War IIMeredith Oda, Associate Professor, University of Nevada – Reno
Meredith Oda is Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her first book, The Gateway to the Pacific: Japanese Americans and the Remaking of San Francisco (Chicago 2018), was a transpacific and multiracial story of early Cold War urban redevelopment and race-making. At the Huntington she will work on her second book, Alien Belonging: Japanese American Resettlement and Incarceration during WWII, which explores how Japanese Americans left the incarceration camps during the war and rebuilt lives in communities all over the country. Despite their status as perhaps the period’s most vilified aliens, they turned “alien” into a capacious and mutable category by demanding, using, and sometimes refusing mobility in camp and on the outside. Japanese Americans thereby reshaped their imprisonment, turned jailers into advocates, and transformed their position of dangerous alienage at the height of Asian exclusion.
FLETCHER JONES FOUNDATION FELLOW

Minayo Nasiali is an Associate Professor at UCLA and a historian of modern European imperialism, migration, and racial capitalism.

MOLINA FELLOW IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE & ALLIED SCIENCES
Topic: No Stimulation Without Taxation: Plant Life and Multispecies Political Economy in British IndiaUtathya Chattopadhyaya, Assistant Professor, University of California Santa Barbara
Dr. Utathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is a scholar of the social and cultural history of modern South Asia (1765-1950) and the British Empire in the modern world (1830-1960). His writings address social histories of agrarian life in South Asia, histories-from-below of the British Empire, plant studies, and critical histories of drugs and addiction. He is the author of Ganja Matters: Empire and the Pursuits of Cannabis in British India (California, 2026) and other articles in the Indian Journal of Gender Studies, Social History of Alcohol and Drugs, English Language Notes, South African Historical Journal, and Historical Reflections. He is currently a co-editor of Social History of Alcohol and Drugs (University of Chicago Press). At the Huntington, he will be working on his second book on British colonial interventions in human and plant relations, specifically involving stimulation and intoxication, in South Asia through elaborate taxation regimes that eventually transformed ideas of selfhood, gender, addiction, habit, and interspecies relations. Combining plant studies, botanical humanities, and political economy, the book uncovers new aspects of the early modern English East India Company exploration of flora, vegetation, and natural history in the Indian Ocean World.

Bowen’s work has been previously supported with grants from the Doris G. Quinn Foundation, the George Lurcy Charitable and Educational Trust, the Rackham Graduate School, the Society for French Historical Studies, and the Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism at the University of Notre Dame, among others. She received her Ph.D. in History from the University of Michigan in 2023 and her B.A. from Harvard College in 2014.
BARBARA THOM POST-DOCTORAL FELLOW
Topic: The Children of Immigrants and the Legal Battles that Defined AmericaHardeep Dhillon, Assistant Professor, University of Pennsylvania
Hardeep Dhillon is currently an Assistant Professor in Asian American History and core faculty in the Asian American Studies Program at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research investigates how legal status can serve as an analytical tool to study the distribution of rights, resources, and privileges in society. She is particularly interested in how legal status has been historically used as a proxy for race in structuring inequality in the United States. At the Huntington, she is finishing her first book project which asks: How have Americans historically used the legal status of immigrant parents to limit their children’s rights, including claims to birthright citizenship? How have immigrant communities fought back? And how have these battles shaped law and politics in the United States? More specifically, the book follows cases involving Asian American families during and after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment.
BARBARA THOM POST-DOCTORAL FELLOW
Topic: Andean Listening: Colonial Archives, Sonorous Artifacts, Vibrant ClayFelipe Ledesma Núñez, Postdoctoral Fellow
Felipe Ledesma Núñez is an Ecuadorian sculptor and historian of sound whose research explores the Ancient Andes through seventeenth-century sources and the creation of ceramic sound artifacts. At The Huntington, he will work on “La Escucha de Chuquillanto” (“Chuquillanto’s Listening”), a monograph that reframes our understanding of pre-Columbian Andean ontology by examining how the stigmatizing lenses of colonial sources distort Indigenous vibrant knowledge and suffering. Using a monumental manuscript from 1590 colonial Peru about an impossible love between an Inca princess Chuquillanto and a humble shepherd Acoytapra, he explores Andean life through the materials inadvertently preserved in the colonial archive.
BARBARA THOM POST-DOCTORAL FELLOW

It asks why this figure became the object of such potent fascination for authors and audiences from the fifteenth to seventeenth century.
JUNE AND SIMON K.C. LI FELLOW IN EAST ASIAN GARDEN AND LANDSCAPE PRINTS
Topic: Gardening in Chinese Arts: Techniques, Labor, and Embodied Knowledge in Premodern Landscape RepresentationZheming Cai, PhD Candidate, University of Toronto
Zheming (Taro) Cai is a designer and historian of landscape architecture. His research interests include landscape and garden history, the transnational production and circulation of landscape design, and plant humanities. He holds a PhD in Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto, where his dissertation “Chinese Landscape Architecture in Transnational Exchange, 1970s-2020s,” examines the negotiation and professionalization of landscape knowledge and practice in China since the late Cold War period. He is also the founder of In-Situ Collaborative, an interdisciplinary design research practice. At the Huntington, Cai will investigate gardening as a technical practice and form of embodied knowledge in premodern China. Drawing on the Huntington’s collection of Chinese paintings, prints, and horticultural treatises alongside its living gardens, his research asks how the secular labor of gardening was represented, transmitted, and encoded in the visual and textual sources. By foregrounding these marginalized practices and practitioners, the project develops new methodological approaches to Chinese garden history that move beyond literary and iconographic frameworks to engage with the material and tacit knowledge that shaped designed landscapes.
ELEANOR SEARLE VISITING PROFESSOR IN HISTORY AT CALTECH AND THE HUNTINGTON
Topic: The Making of the Architect-Engineer at the Florentine Court in the Time of Galileo: Insights from Unpublished Manuscripts of the Medici Court's Engineering Academies and Their Influence on British Technological CultureCristiano Zanetti, Postdoctoral Scholar, Ca’ Foscari University
After receiving an MA in Medieval History and working for several years as a field archaeologist, Cristiano Zanetti earned a PhD in the History of Science and Technology from the European University Institute in 2012. His research explores the historical relationship between power, intellectuals, and artisans in the development and institutionalization of superior craftsmen, engineers, practical mathematics, innovation, and invention between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period, with a particular focus on central and northern Italy and the Spanish Empire. Zanetti has published widely on Early Modern technology and is the author of monographs on medieval architecture and Renaissance technology, with special attention to Janello Torriani (Juanelo Turriano), court inventor to Emperor Charles V and King Philip II of Spain. This figure, central to his PhD dissertation, was also the subject of an international exhibition curated by Zanetti in Italy and Spain in 2016 and 2018. He has conducted postdoctoral research at the Medici Archive Project (Florence), the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (Berlin), the Centre Alexandre Koyré (Paris), the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies at Villa I Tatti (Florence), and the University of Milan. He is also the recipient of the García-Diego International Prize for the History of Technology (7th edition, June 2014, Madrid). Most recently, Cristiano has worked on a project on Renaissance automata (1350–1650) as a Marie Curie postdoctoral scholar at Ca’ Foscari University (Venice, Italy) and Caltech (Pasadena, California).
OCCIDENTAL/BILLINGTON VISITING PROFESSOR IN U.S. HISTORY
Topic: Militias and the Making of the Second AmendmentAndrew Isenberg, Professor, University of Kansas
Andrew Isenberg is a Distinguished Professor of History and the Hall Chair of American History at the University of Kansas.

MELLON ACADEMIC TERM FELLOW
Topic: Working in Medieval England: Cash, Coercion, and CustomJordan Claridge, Assistant Professor, London School of Economics and Political Science
Jordan Claridge is an Associate Professor of Economic History at the London School of Economics. His work asks how individuals, societies, markets, and industries adapted to often cataclysmic change the medieval world: plague, demographic collapse, and the expansion of trade. His recent monograph, Horse Power in Medieval England: The Equine Economy c.1200–c.1400 (CUP 2026), examines how medieval England was supplied with working horses, its most important source of energy, and how peasants came to dominate the trade of these animals. At the Huntington, he will be undertaking the first detailed, empirical assessment of the scope and scale of unfree labour in medieval England. The image of serfs labouring in the fields is one of the most enduring tropes of the medieval world. Yet while the rise and fall of other aspects of serfdom have been actively researched, our understanding of labour coercion remains surprisingly limited.
MELLON ACADEMIC TERM FELLOW
Topic: Our Hearts are Straight: Cherokee Women’s Textile DiplomacyPatricia Dawson, Assistant Professor, Mount Holyoke College
Patricia Dawson is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and Assistant Professor of History at Mount Holyoke College. Her current manuscript project examines Cherokee clothing as a tool of diplomacy, symbol of identity, and weapon of resistance against Euro-American encroachment in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the early nineteenth century, Cherokee women transformed their economy through cotton agriculture and cloth production, and they were at the center of the Nation’s resistance to Removal through textile diplomacy. Dawson also worked with family members to edit A History of the Cherokee Nation by Rachel Caroline Eaton, Dawson’s great-great-great aunt who is believed to be the first known Native American woman to get a PhD.
