We were delighted that in our inaugural year we received many strong applications from postgraduate students, early career researchers and independent scholars from across the country.
After much deliberation and discussion, the steering committee decided to grant numerous awards given the strength of the submissions.
Many congratulations to Mairi Hamilton, Kate Mathis and Caroline Douglas.
Mairi will present a paper on violence against women in Victorian Scotland at a conference in Oxford, Kate will present a paper on the presentation of medieval Scottish women during the Celtic Revival at a conference in Inverness, and finally, Caroline will use her bursary to fund research into unknown women in early photography in Scotland.
The WHS Bursary will be offered again in 2019 and we would like to encourage postgraduates, early career researchers and independent scholars working in Scotland or working on Scottish themes to apply.
