Congratulations to members of our CMS Faculty who have received SSHRC Insight Grant funding for their dynamic research projects.
Shami Ghosh received funding for his 6-year project, Economy, Society, and Culture in the German lands c.900--c.1250. The research will provide a comprehensive analysis of the rural economy during a largely neglected period of German economic history.
James Ginther, along with Riccardo Macchioro and Chris L. Nighman will collaborate on the 4-year SSHRC-funded The Digital Burgundio Project: Medieval and Renaissance Latin Translations of Patristic Literature by John Chrysostom, Basil of Caesarea, and John Damascene to create online and print editions of the unpublished Greek theological texts.
Jon McGinnis was awarded the Insight grant for his 5-year project, Avicenna's Natural Philosophy: Translations, Editions and Studies of the physical works of the Healing.
Sebastian Sobecki received funding to examine medieval writing practices with Communities of Practice: Scripts, Scribes, and the Production of Literature in London, 1377-1471. The 6-year project will see collaboration with Samuel Grieggs of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Euan Roger of The National Archives, and Alexandra Gillespie's Old Books New Science Lab.
Renée Trilling's project The Place of the Human in Early Medieval England will receive SSHRC funding for 4 years, to identify models of human / more-than-human coexistence in the non-literary textual production of the period between c. 800-1100 CE.
We are so thrilled to learn more about these projects, and look forward to sharing interviews with these successful Faculty members in the next issue of the Chronica (September MMXXV).
In addition to the above, the project, The Artemisia Project: Rape in Early Modern Europe received a SSHRC Insight grant, a project on which Nicholas Terpstra will collaborate, and, CMS Alum, Winston Black received funding for Languages of Authority: Editing Medieval Medicine, a project that will involve collaboration with CMS Faculty / Alum, Faith Wallis.
Congratulations to our incredible CMS Community!
