Briefs
Two Princeton faculty members have received Fulbright Scholar grants to conduct research abroad this year.
Heath Lowry, the Ataturk Professor of Ottoman and Modern Turkish Studies and professor of Near Eastern studies, received the grant for work at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey. He is working on two projects: "A Study of the Ozal Years (1983-93) and Their Impact on Contemporary Turkey"; and a monograph on "The Social and Economic History of Ottoman Bursa, 1326-1600."
Todd Burke Porterfield, assistant professor of art
and archaeology, received the grant for research on "After
Iconoclasm: Art History and the Resacralization of the
French Body Politic" at the Philosophie Universite de Paris
X, in Paris, France.
About 800 U.S. faculty and professionals
received Fulbright grants to lecture or conduct research in
140 countries around the world.
Chelsea Honigmann, a graduate student in
Princeton's Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering, has won the 2001 Structural Engineering
Traveling Fellowship from the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill
Foundation.
Her essay and travel proposal for the
$7,500 award builds on her thesis, a pioneering study on the
conceptual design of bridges that explores how the greatest
engineers have developed their ideas.
The fellowship will enable Honigmann, who
will finish her master of science in engineering degree this
year, to travel to Europe to study significant bridges
first-hand. Upon completion of her travels, she will be
given the opportunity through additional stipends to deliver
public lectures on her research at various colleges and
universities. She will present a public lecture at Princeton
during the 2001-02 academic year.
