Thomas-Patterson’s Summer Research leads to new conclusions

MA Candidate Mark Thomas-Patterson was the recipient of the Rose Library Short-Term Award Fellowship from the Rose Library at Emory University to conduct research over the course of summer 2023. With the support of this grant, Thomas-Patterson was able to conduct research in the papers of U.S. Senator Sam Nunn, housed in the Rose Library. In an essay Thomas-Patterson wrote for the libraries, he outlined how the material he found changed his understanding of Nunn’s nuclear policy in the Cold War. You can read his write-up here!

*Though the History Department uses the name Pauli Murray Hall for our building, on official maps you will find it as Hamilton Hall. Joseph Grégoire de Roulhac Hamilton’s intellectually dishonest historical and archival work promoted white supremacy. In contrast, Pauli Murray marshaled unassailable evidence and analysis in the service of racial and gender equality. In July 2020, all of the departments housed in the building agreed to adopt the name Pauli Murray Hall in place of Hamilton Hall. An official request with the Chancellor is pending.
