AWSS Pre-dissertation fellowship award

[Sibelan Forrester]

The Association for Women in Slavic Studies is pleased to announce
that Inna Tigountsova is the winner of the 2003-2004 AWSS
Pre-Dissertation Fellowship in Slavic/East European and Eurasian
Women's Studies.

Ms Tigountsova is writing her dissertation in Russian Literature at
the University of Toronto.  Her theme, "The Ugly (bezobraznoye) in
Dostoevsky and Russian Literature of the Twentieth Century," traces
the evolution of the Underground Man, and later Woman, from the 19th
century through the 20th, devoting attention to several prominent
women writers in Russia today (Tolstaya, Petrushevskaya, and others).
Ms Tigountsova's work promises to be of interest not only to scholars
of Russian literature, but to a wider audience in the profession as
well.

The Fellowship will support research or travel associated with
dissertation work and provides a cash award of $1000.  The deadline
for next year's fellowship competition is June 1, 2003.

for the committee:

Maria Bucur-Deckerd, Sibelan Forrester and Adele Lindenmeyr
