Congratulations to PhD candidate James McCabe who was awarded the 2024 Visionary Partner Dissertation Fellowship from Rice’s Center for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality (CSWGS)!
This competitive fellowship with a $7500 stipend is given to advanced graduate students in the CSWGS Graduate Certificate program who are in the final phase of Ph.D. dissertation writing.
James' current research focuses on gender, colonialism, and nationalism in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century French art. His dissertation, Morisot Rêveuse, examines French Impressionist Berthe Morisot’s later artworks to piece together the relationship between the bourgeois interiors of the metropole and the French colonies.
For those interested in learning more from James, he will be co-teaching with Prof. Leo Costello this fall in HART 452/552: Manet(s) and Modernism(s). Seats are still available for registration.
