The Institute is delighted to announce that Dr Clarisse Godard Desmarest has been awarded the 2014 Daiches-Manning Memorial Fellowship in 18th Century Scottish Studies. Dr Godard Desmarest is a lecturer in British Cultural Studies at the University of Amiens and will be working at IASH on her project on "Women and Architecture in 18th century Scotland". She will be at the Institute from August to November 2014.
This is the first year that the Daiches-Manning Memorial Fellowship has been offered. We are most grateful to the Eighteenth-Century Scottish Studies Society (ECSSS) and the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) for their co-sponsorship of the Fellowship which honours two former Directors of IASH who were both outstanding scholars of eighteenth-century Scottish literature and culture : Professor David Daiches and Professor Susan Manning.
