Congratulations to Thomas D. Rogers, Associate Professor of Modern Latin American History and NEH/Arthur Blank Distinguished Teaching Professor. Rogers and Jeffrey Manuel (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) won an ACLS Collaborative Research Fellowship for a project titled “Agriculture’s Energy: Learning from the History of Biofuels in Brazil and the United States.” Rogers and Manuel will use the two-year fellowship to write a book on the comparative and transnational history of biofuel production in the two largest producing countries in the world. This co-authored book will unearth a century of biofuels history in Brazil and the United States. Understanding how and why certain patterns and problems arose out of these biofuels programs will shed light on issues arising in the emerging renewable energy regime.
