All rights reserved. Produced by Global Marketing and Communications. 9-18/750/KD-HM/2736 Welcome to Northwestern University’s Office of Fellowships! You may wonder, “What’s a fellowship?” A fellowship can be • a grant for a creative or research project • a scholarship for an academic qualification • an internship for professional development What makes a grant, scholarship, or internship a fellowship is the cohort of people chosen to develop their talents together with guidance from mentors, through group activities, and in support of a larger goal. This booklet lists the hundreds of Northwestern students and alumni who secured external funding during the 2017–18 academic year to create, research, study, and intern through fellowships all over the country and around the globe. The fellowships are listed in four categories: • those requiring students to apply first to Northwestern for endorsement before filing applications to national competitions • those offering international experiences by taking recipients outside the United States • those taking recipients off campus to destinations within the United States • those funding student activities on campus We want you to join these fellowship winners and help us paint the world purple, one Wildcat at a time! Elizabeth Lewis Pardoe, PhD Director Year in parentheses after school name indicates date of receiving undergraduate (year only) or graduate (G plus year) degree. Abbreviated year after winner’s name indicates current undergraduate class year. 1 A sampling of this year’s undergraduate winners Lars Benson transferred to Northwestern at the start of his junior year and quickly found a home with Associated Student Government, serving as its chief of staff.

    DAILY LIFE IN THE ABYSS War and Genocide General Editors: Omer Bartov, Brown University; A. Dirk Moses, University of Sydney In recent years there has been a growing interest in the study of war and genocide, not from a traditional military history perspective, but within the framework of social and cultural history. This series offers a forum for scholarly works that reflect these new approaches. “The Berghahn series War and Genocide has immeasurably enriched the English- language scholarship available to scholars and students of genocide and, in particular, the Holocaust.” —Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions For a full volume listing, please see back matter DAILY LIFE IN THE ABYSS Genocide Diaries, 1915–1918 Vahé Tachjian berghahn N E W Y O R K • O X F O R D www.berghahnbooks.com Published in 2017 by Berghahn Books www.berghahnbooks.com © 2017, 2019 Vahé Tachjian First paperback edition published in 2019 This publication was made possible by a generous grant from the Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fund All rights reserved.

  • The Stranger's Voice: Integrated Literary Cultures in Anatolia and The
    The Stranger’s Voice: Integrated Literary Cultures in Anatolia and the Premodern World by Michael Bedrosian Pifer A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Comparative Literature) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Kevork B. Bardakjian, chair Associate Professor Kathryn Babayan Associate Professor Catherine Brown Professor Kader Konuk Professor Karla Mallette “There was one and there wasn’t one.” —the beginning of a story in Persian, Turkish, and Armenian, usually referring to a hazy time and place, long ago. © Michael Bedrosian Pifer, 2014 For my family ii Acknowledgements In the Armenian manuscript tradition, it is customary to find a bit of information on the scribe at the end of a work. These snapshots of the scribe’s life, known as colophons, usually request a few things of the reader—to remember a beloved teacher, for instance. Or, to say a prayer for the scribe’s father and mother. Or, to appeal to the reader’s good nature—which surely is great!—and ask that she not frown too severely upon any errors, shortcomings, or omissions. The scribe is, after all, only flesh and blood. Colophons are written at the end of a work, but the style today is to place them upfront. I want to begin by thanking, first and foremost, my teachers: Kevork Bardakjian, Kathryn Babayan, Catherine Brown, Kader Konuk, and Karla Mallette. None of this would have been possible without Prof. Bardakjian, whom I have known since my days as an undergraduate, and who has kindled in me a great love of languages.

  • Vol. 3, Issue 1: October 2020
    Vol.3, Issue 1: October 2020 Zoom Shots! Open Students Meeting with the Executive Committee on Oct. 16, 2020 Hello Everyone -- I am sorry that we are getting this first fall 2020 issue of *The Sociological Imagination* out to you belatedly but, as many or all of you know and are likely to agree, the semester is an ‘over the top’ unusual one. The national political election is hanging over our heads (and let me take this opportunity, given the extraordinary importance of this election, to say PLEASE VOTE!!!). The economy, including of course in New York State, New York City and at and around CUNY, is worrisome and hugely affected by the pandemic. The pandemic itself continues to pose ongoing challenges of many kinds, from health to child care through schooling and job related i as we enter the widely predicted ‘second wave.’ I hope that all of you, and your families and friends, are staying safe and well through all of it . While this newsletter issue is primarily informative -- providing dates to note down for upcoming events, deadlines for fellowships, and the like -- we also hope that it serves as something of a community-solidifying and supportive purpose. For instance, the newsletter gives us another opportunity to welcome first years vis-a-vis brief bio’s below from the new cohort. Rati, Jeremy and I very much wish we could be greeting new students personally in the Sociology Lounge but we look forward to doing so in the future (and making up for the time we lost). But we will endeavor to also keep you apprised in upcoming issues of issues concerning our larger context and what is happening.
