Reynolds received a New Directions Fellowship from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for her project, “Heat: Recent Egyptian Histories.” She is an associate professor of history; of Jewish, Islamic and Near Eastern languages and cultures; and of women, gender and sexuality studies.
New Directions Fellowships help faculty members in the humanities acquire systematic training outside of their own areas of interest. The fellowship will allow Reynolds to pursue formal training in environmental studies, as well as botany, zoology and geology, to undertake future research on the environmental history of Egypt.
