Wendell Nii Laryea Adjetey Awarded William Dawson Chair at McGill University

Former William Lyon Mackenzie King Postdoctoral Fellow Wendell Nii Laryea Adjetey, now assistant professor of history and classical studies at McGill University, was awarded the William Dawson Chair at McGill. This endowed research chair—tenable for five years and renewable once—recognizes an outstanding scholar, a tenure-track assistant or associate professor, who is poised to become a leader in his or her field. Adjetey’s forthcoming book, Cross-Border Cosmopolitans: The Making of a Pan-African North America (UNC Press) delves into the global Black freedom struggle.
