Joshua Paul, fifth-year graduate student, wins prestigious BUCH Dissertation Fellowship
The Classical Studies department congratulates fifth-year graduate student, Joshua Paul, who has won a prestigious Dissertation Fellowship from the Boston University Center for the Humanities (BUCH)! Josh’s PhD dissertation focuses on visions of the afterlife in Latin love elegy. As Josh shows, the Augustan elegists developed their own vision of life after death, as part of their distinctive, countercultural spin on traditional Roman values. The BUCH fellowship will allow Josh the time to complete his fellowship within an interdisciplinary community of other graduate students in the Humanities.This award follows a number of other achievements for Josh this past year, including having articles accepted by the prestigious Classics journals Classical World and Classical Philology. We congratulate Josh, and wish him all the best for a productive semester next year as part of the Boston University Center for the Humanities.
