Piers held this twelve-month postdoctoral award from October 2007 and undertookresearch on 'Interchanges in Visual Culture between Italy and Spain in the Renaissance'.
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.
Rosa completed her doctoral thesis this year in the Department of History at Queen Mary, University of London, under the supervision of Professor Kate Lowe. Her subject was 'From Printshop to Piazza: The Diffusion of Cheap Print in Cinquecento Venice'.
Following the completion of my doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge in October 2009, I was fortunate to be awarded a Society for Renaissance Studies Postdoctoral Fellowship. The fellowship provided me with crucial support in my transition from graduate student to lecturer, and it allowed me a year to undertake the further research to turn my thesis into a monograph, present my work at conferences and seminars, and publish on areas related to my thesis.
The Society for Renaissance Studies welcomes applications from conference organisers for financial support for conferences.
