We are delighted to report that Erica Krause is the 2023-24 recipient of the Renate Voris Fellowship, which she received for work on her dissertation, Dark Ecology in Latin Literature.

The Fellowship was founded in 2012 by Renate Voris, Professor of German and Comparative Studies at the University of Virginia. Through it, she wanted to (1) support an outstanding researcher and writer, a student and (future) colleague, in an age when the Arts and Humanities appear to be under threat of extinction in American universities; (2) “correct,” in a small way, the continued and widespread denigration of women’s intellectual and artistic achievements by not including them in curricula. 

Bravo, Erica, well done!
