Every year, the Alexander von Humbolt Foundation enables more than 2,000 researchers from all over the world to spend time conducting research in Germany. Today, the Foundation maintains an interdisciplinary network of well over 30,000 Humboldtians in more than 140 countries around the world. 

As a Henriette Herz Scout of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Prof. Dr. Simone M. Müller had the chance to search for two research fellows in Global Environmental History with Environmental Humanities that now have joined her team for a two-year fellowship since summer 2025 at the University of Augsburg.

The focus in this call was on researchers whose academic record qualifies them to be granted a Humboldt Research Fellowship but who have not yet taken part in the application process or held any other fellowship at a German institution before.

We are very proud to present you our two Guest Researchers: 

• Dr. J. Uluwehi Hopkins, Historian from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
• Dr. Harrison Croft, Historian from the Monash University in Australia
