The Walbolt Dissertation Fellowship Committee is proud to announce that Maureen MacLeod is the winner of this semester's competition for her research proposal "A Society in Flux: Female Education and Societal Transition in Early Nineteenth-Century France, 1799-1830." Maureen will receive funding to conduct her dissertation research. She will also receive funding to cover travel expenses.

Thanks to a generous gift from Dan and Sylvia Walbolt, the department is able to provide this level of funding for one graduate student's dissertation research every semester.

Congratulations to Maureen on this excellent achievement.
