Thanks to the generosity of Tad Taube and Taube Philanthropies, the Taube Prizes for Student Writing in Hebrew and Jewish Studies for postgraduate students were offered for the third time this year. We received twenty excellent submissions across numerous areas of Hebrew and Jewish Studies, and the committee selected the following recipients for the prize:
– Charlie Mc Evoy, To Love but Her Alone: Lesbian Desire and Mystic Love in the Life of Grace Aguilar (1816-1847)
– Pia Regensburger, The Origin of YHWH
The committee highly commended the following submissions:
– Celeste Pan, Hamburg, SUB Cod. Levy 19: A Study of Stylistic Hybridity
– Clara Pitocchi, “Not clueless pawns in a Kafkaesque drama”. Jewish litigants in the Fatimid legal arena
– Hannah Scott-Ravikumar, ‘WHERE THE TWO HAVE BEEN MIXED’: Poland, the Jews, and the Teutonic Order
Many congratulations again to the students for their wonderful submissions.
