caption: Peter HolquistPeter Holquist, Ronald S. Lauder Endowed Term Associate Professor of History at Penn (Almanac December 5, 2017), is a 2018-2019 recipient of the Berlin Prize from The American Academy in Berlin.

During his fellowship in spring 2019, Dr. Holquist will explore the emergence and consolidation of the international law of war in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, focusing on the key role played by Imperial Russia.

The Berlin Prize is awarded annually to scholars, writers, composers and artists from the United States who represent the highest standards of excellence in their fields. Fellows receive a monthly stipend, partial board and accommodations at the Academy’s lakeside Hans Arnhold Center in Berlin-Wannsee. The Prize provides recipients with the time and resources to step back from their daily obligations to work on academic and artistic projects they might not otherwise pursue.
