Two Kress Foundation History of Art Institutional Fellowships awarded to Department PhD students in same academic year
June 10, 2024
A blue moon event that comes as no surprise to anyone who knows of the brilliance of Zoe Copeman and Juliet Huang
The Kress Foundation awards six History of Art Institutional Fellowships annually. These two-year, $30,000 a year stipend fellowships attached to six centers in the UK and Europe for the advanced study of European art history are highly prized and quite competitive. That in this academic year two members of our graduate student cohort, Juliet Huang and Zoe Copeman, each received such an award is a significant moment in the history of the Department and a testament to the brilliance of each of these students and their research projects. Juliet Huang will be resident at Universiteit Leiden at the LUCAS (Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society) in support of her dissertation project "Dressing the Speaking Hand: Fashion Accessories around the Hand in the 17th-Century Netherlands,” while Zoe Copeman will return to familiar ground at the Courtauld Institute of Art & Warburg Institute in support of her dissertation project “Cankerous Femme: The European Mastectomy and the Semiotics of Surgery.”
We could not be more proud of these signal achievements by these two emerging scholars in the field. Congratulations Juliet and Zoe!
