President Barack Obama, on behalf of the National Endowment for
the Humanities, will present the 2012 National Humanities Medals to
twelve Americans for their “outstanding achievements” in the humanities.
Among the list are historians Edward L. Ayers, a current AHA member, and Natalie Zemon Davis,
past AHA president. Ayers will be honored for his “commitment to making
our history as widely available and accessible as possible. Dr. Ayers’
innovations in digital humanities extend higher learning beyond campus
boundaries and allow broad audiences to discover the past in new ways.”
Davis will be recognized for her “insights into the study of history and
her exacting eloquence in bringing the past into focus. With vivid
description and exhaustive research, her works allow us to experience
life through our ancestors’ eyes and to truly engage with our history.”
Readers will have a chance to watch a live webcast of the July 10 National Arts and Humanities Medal ceremony, at White House Live, starting at 2pm EST.
For the full list of honored medalists, please see the official press release.
