Bethan Fisk

Really looking forward to great conversation with these folks on Friday in Glasgow

More about the prize & project here — I’ll be looking at how indigenous, black, and European peoples attributed significance to, feared, and transformed the night in the British, French, and Spanish Antilles and the circum-Caribbean www.bristol.ac.uk/arts-law-soc...

So so proud of and happy for my beloved @bethanfisk.bsky.social for winning one of the biggest prizes in UK and the world! Genius historian and human being!!! 🥳🥳🥳

I am so happy to share that I am one of the Philip Leverhulme Prize winners for History for 2026. What an honour! The award will support me doing the archival research for and writing a book on A History of the Night in the Greater Caribbean, across boundaries of empire and language.

IT’S COMING!!!! 😮😮😮 We are nearly a MONTH away from the publication of my new book IN LATIN AMERICA YOU COULD BE FREE: AN AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY on @basicbooksgroup.bsky.social! I’ve never been prouder of a book I wrote.
