Thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded a Gerda Henkel Research Scholarship to continue my work at the German Maritime Museum as Senior Fellow on my new project “Convicts’ Letters: Spaces of Action, Emotions, and Survival on Board the Calcutta en Route to Australia, 1803” including extended research trips to archives and libraries in the United Kingdom and Australia.
