Congratulations to first-yeart PhD student Kelsey Jaye for being one of five winners of the Battestin Fellowships for the summer of 2021. This fellowship offered by The Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia provides $3,500 for research on topics of physical or textual bibliography in libraries or archives.
Kelsey Jaye won a Battestin Fellowship for her research project “Mapping Deliverance: Spatial Representation of Slavery and Liberation in the Writings of John Washington.” John Washington was a formerly enslaved man from Fredrickburg, Va. whose writing and papers, including a unique hand-drawn escape map, are housed in a collection at UVA's Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library.
Congratulations to Mya Singleton French, major; Bioethics minor (2020) for receiving one of two Academic Achievement Abroad awards given by the Forum on Education Abroad for original research accomplished while a student at IFE's Strasbourg Field Study and Internship Program.
While in Strasbourg, Mya combined her studies in French and her passion for medical and health justice by joining a research team at the European Center for Research in Ethics. There, her work focused on the ethical considerations and ambiguities of "The Absence of Informed Consent in the Retroactive Use of Biological Material in Pathological Research". Her findings formed an important part of the grant submission for a large-scale investigation of a huge, unique holding of pathological tissue samples from the 19th and 20th century (housed at the University of Strasbourg), and have been published.
We are so happy to see your work recognized in this way, Mya!
