Andrew Wickersham

2024 Graduate Student Peer Mentors Award

Andrew's research is on refugee resettlement policies in the early Turkish republic, with particular attention to resettlement dynamics in Alevi communities.

A remarkably engaged peer mentoring group, the History Graduate Association (HGA) plays a critically important role in the success not just for our graduate students but for undergraduates and for other graduate students across campus. They are a model of a peer mentoring community. Both through its individual peer mentor program for new students and through its work as a peer mentor community, the HGA serves as a raft that buoys fellow students through the ebbs and flows of graduate school.
