Four graduate alums are among the nine Princetonians who have received 2025 Guggenheim Fellowships. The Guggenheims support scholars in the creative arts, social sciences, natural sciences and humanities. 

This year’s graduate alumni recipients are:

• Angela Esterhammer, a 1990 graduate alumna, for English literature;
• Kellen Funk, a 2018 graduate alumnus, for law;
• Katherine Ludwig Jansen, a 1995 graduate alumna, for medieval and early modern studies;
• James Morton Turner, a 2004 graduate alumnus, for the history of science, technology and economics. 

The Princetonians are among 198 American and Canadian scholars selected to receive Guggenheims, which recognize both “prior career achievement and exceptional promise,” according to the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation announcement. This year marks the 100th class of fellows.
