In September, The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation has announced its 2026 HFG Emerging Scholars. These nine doctoral candidates are researching a range of important topics related to the nature of and responses to violence, including school shooting incidents in the United States and anti-minority vigilante violence in India. “Each of our 2026 Emerging Scholars—all exceptional doctoral candidates—is asking a question whose answer will, we hope, help to reduce the misery caused by violence, as Harry Guggenheim intended in creating this foundation,” said HFG Director of Research Joel Wallman in the announcement.
