The Division of Humanities is delighted to announce that Professor Adriana Vazquez in the Department of Classics has been awarded the prestigious Rome Prize next year for her project “Window Reception: Brazilian Neoclassical Poetry and Lusophone Classics Across the Atlantic.”
The American Academy in Rome annually selects Rome Prize winners by independent juries of distinguished artists and scholars through a national competition. The eleven disciplines supported by the Academy include: ancient studies, architecture, design, historic preservation and conservation, landscape architecture, literature, medieval studies, modern Italian studies, music composition, Renaissance and early modern studies, and visual arts. These highly competitive fellowships support advanced independent work and research in the arts and humanities.
