Carla Pestana

Congratulations to Carla Pestana, who was recently honored with an appointment to the Distinguished Lecturership Program at the OAH. The Organization of American Historians appointed 78 new speakers to its prestigious Distinguished Lectureship Program earlier this month. These scholars, who are affiliated with some of the nation’s top universities, join more than 400 other OAH Distinguished Lecturers who speak to audiences across the country each year and are widely sought for appearances at museums, libraries, universities, community centers, churches and synagogues, and other venues.  OAH Distinguished Lecturers promote understanding and appreciation of all facets of U.S. history from the 1600s through the present, which is an essential component of the organization’s mission.
