Congratulations to two CHASS faculty with recently announced research grant awards!

One reason I wanted to establish the CHASS research blog is to share good news about faculty who have successfully won grants, fellowships, and other resources and recognition for their outstanding research. I am pleased to be able to report two items of news:

• John Wall, in the Department of English, has won a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), on "New Methods of Documenting the Past: Recreating Public Preaching at Paul's Cross, London, in the Post-Reformation Period."
  
• David Gilmartin, in the Department of History, received a fellowship from Stanford Humanities Center for 2011-12 to complete a book exploring the history and meaning of voting in India over the last century.

More news and details will likely emerge from both of these fascinating projects in the coming months, and we will share it with you. Congratulations to John and David!
