This year the Society appointed a panel to read through all the applications for our annual one-year £5000 Fellowship to support postdoctoral research in Renaissance Studies, in memory of Ruth and Nicolai Rubinstein.
The Society for Renaissance Studies is pleased to announce that the recipient of the 2008 Rubinstein Fellowship is
Dr
Jane Stevens
Jane completed her doctoral thesis last year, under the supervision of Dr Mary Laven (Cambridge). Her subject was 'The lazaretti of Venice, Verona and Padua (1520-1580)' and she now proposes to expand this research to cover Venetian plague hospitals through to the fall of the republic.
