Serena Shah
Ph.D. Student in History, admitted Autumn 2021
GRAD Research Assistant, History DepartmentBioI am a PhD candidate in U.S. History. I study the history of ideas and the production of knowledge in our major cultural institutions, especially universities and museums. I specialize in the history of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
My dissertation, "American Orientalism and Liberal Education: Building Moral Responsibility in the Gilded Age," examines an early defense of liberal education mounted by scholars at elite research universities after the Civil War. These scholars, who called themselves "orientalists," invented the idea of “Western civilization" and argued that the origins of the West lay in the ancient Orient (the region roughly corresponding to the modern Middle East). In an age of moral crisis, orientalists and academic leaders made the case that it was the role of the university to train the nation’s young people in an unbroken story of human progress, and to create responsible, informed citizens capable of participation in a functioning democracy.
I also study Americans' ideas about antiquity more broadly in the long nineteenth century. I am in the process of publishing a research article on Greek and Roman slave-naming practices and the classicism of American slavery. The study centers around a database of tens of thousands of slave names that I have compiled from archives across the American South. -

Adam Spitzig
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2024
Student Worker, Ethics In SocietyBioAdam Spitzig is a PhD candidate in Environment and Resources (E-IPER) at Stanford University’s Doerr School of Sustainability. He is a historical ecologist and data scientist whose research examines long-term biodiversity dynamics and their human drivers.
His work integrates paleoecological data (especially fossil pollen records), archaeological and historical sources, geospatial analysis, and statistical modeling to understand when and how human societies have increased, maintained, or reduced biodiversity. He is particularly interested in identifying cases of sustained anthropogenic biodiversity expansion and examining the institutional, economic, infrastructural, and land-use processes that produced them. His work also explores how long-term ecological knowledge can inform contemporary conservation and restoration strategy.
Before beginning his PhD, he led ecological modeling and machine learning initiatives in conservation and technology organizations, including Ducks Unlimited and several data-driven startups.
He holds a Master in Public Administration from Harvard University, a Master of Information & Data Science from UC Berkeley, a Master of Environmental Management and a Juris Doctor from Duke University, and a BA from the University of Florida. -
