“The Willson-LMU fellowship provided a unique opportunity to think with colleagues working on related topics at a premier German university. During my time there, I was able to attend lectures, interact with visiting fellows, and expand my horizons. The conversations I began during my two-week stay have since blossomed into relationships and I am looking forward to returning to Bavaria for a residency at Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, where I will work closely with doctoral students who are engaging in projects across the humanities, including art history, literary studies, and philosophy. Because of the Willson-LMU initiative, I have been able to join dynamic intellectual conversations happening in the German academy and help nurture a new generation of scholars interested in the humanities.”
