Recognition for LSU Historians' teaching, research work

The Department congratulates Prof. Margherita Zanasi on her appointment for a fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ during Fall 2007. Prof. Zanasi will use the time to work on her next book, whose working title is From Empire to Nation: Chinese Economic Thought in Transition.  Most recently, Prof. Zanasi was also awarded a Fulbright Fellowship, which will enable her to complete her year of research in Spring 2008 working on historical records in Shanghai.

The department's Prof. Meredith Veldman was  LSU's senior nominee for a National Endowment for the Humanities summer grant: the third year in a row that honor has gone to a member of the History Department.

The members of Phi Alpha Theta, the history honor society, chose Prof. Reza Pirbhai as the recipient of the 2007 Roselyn Boneno Teaching Award. 

Prof. Mark L. Thompson was selected to receive a prestigious fellowship for study at the John Carter Brown Library in Providence, Rhode Island, during the Fall 2007 semester.
