The Department of History is proud to announce that 2 Graduate level and 5 Bachelor level Fulbright Scholarships have been awarded to History students. There were a total of 19 Fulbrights awarded for 2012-2013. Congratulations to all!

Jesse Wolf Izzo, a Ph.D. student in history, will spend the academic year at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. He will research the role of the Latin Christian crusader states during the late 13th century in the context of the first Mamluk-Ilkhanid War. Izzo received a B.A. in history from Yale University in 2004 and a master in philosophy in medieval history from Cambridge University in 2005.

Melissa Kelley, a Ph.D. student in history, will travel to select German universities. Her Fulbright dissertation will present a critique of the recurrent "crisis in the university" between the late 19th and the late 20th centuries through an analysis of student life. She will particularly focus on the experiences of students from social groups that had historically limited or no access to higher education. Kelley graduated with a B.A. in history from Smith College in 2007.
