Harvard's Jill Lepore Wins Pulitzer Prize for U.S. Constitution History

Harvard University's Jill Lepore was awarded a Pulitzer Prize on Monday for her book "We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution," headlining the latest updates from the Harvard Gazette.

The Gazette's May 5 edition also highlights new research questioning the risks of giving honest feedback to underperforming employees, asking bosses to consider the cost of potential retaliation. Additionally, the publication features the Schlesinger Library’s scrapbook collection, which provides scholars with unique insights into the everyday lives of people in bygone eras, and profiles anthropology Ph.D. candidate Andrew Bair's research into Ireland's invisible people.

Upcoming campus events include a Tuesday noon discussion on the history of Soviet dissent at the Ukrainian Research Institute. On Wednesday, the Salata Institute will host a session on solar geoengineering at 2 p.m., followed by a Harvard-China Project presentation on electric vehicle power system interactions at 3:30 p.m.
