Graduate student Abby Kulisz has been named a Charlotte W. Newcombe Fellow for the 2021-22 year! Abby’s project is titled “Sacred Friendship, Holy Hatred: Christian-Muslim Encounters with the Book in the Medieval Middle East.”
The Newcombe Fellowship is the largest and most prestigious award for Ph.D. candidates in the humanities and social sciences addressing questions of ethical and religious values in interesting, original, or significant ways.
Funding at the dissertation stage remains a vital way to support young scholars. Since its creation in 1981, the Fellowship, funded by the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation, has supported nearly 1,300 doctoral candidates with essential time and resources to complete their writing. Newcombe Fellows have gone on to be noted faculty at domestic and foreign institutions, leaders in their fields of study, Pulitzer Prize winners, MacArthur Fellows, and more.
