The Schallek Awards, given in collaboration with the Richard III Society – American Branch, support graduate students conducting doctoral research in any relevant discipline dealing with late-medieval Britain (ca. 1350-1500).
A clerical error led to the notification of six Schallek Awardees this year instead of the allocated five. To allow us to fund all six, two anonymous donors have generously funded a one-time British Studies Travel Award. The Awardees are:
Michelle Brooks (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), “Poeticizing the Universe: Scientific Discourse and Literary Absence in Chaucer’s ‘A Treatise on the Astrolabe'”
Gina Marie Hurley (Yale University), “Schryue yow openlye: Confession and Community in Middle English Literature”
Michaela Jacques (Harvard University), “The Reception and Transmission of the Medieval Welsh Bardic Grammars, 1330-1578”
Anna Kelner (Harvard University), “Remedies against Temptations: Vision, Ethics and Gender in Later Medieval England”
Charlotte Clare Whatley (University of Wisconsin, Madison), “No Time Runs Against the King: The Function of Fictions in the Late-Medieval English Common Law”
Hannah Wood (University of Toronto), “Intersections of Voluntary and Involuntary Poverty in Late Medieval England”
The Medieval Academy of America is very pleased to announce the establishment of the Belle Da Costa Greene Fund.
