Congratulations to Barbara Thiede!

Thiede awarded Frances Lumsden Gwynn Award from CHESS

The Frances Lumsden Gwynn Award is given annually to exemplary junior faculty in the departments of Religious Studies, Philosophy, or English to help them complete research, instructional, or service projects. This award, which is funded by an endowment created by Dr. Ruth G. Shaw and Mr. Colin S. Shaw in honor of Dr. Shaw’s mother, a lifelong educator, will help fund Dr. Thiede’s research in the 2025-26 academic year. Our great thanks to the Shaws for their generosity in supporting faculty research in CHESS.
