CU-BOULDER PROFESSOR WIN GUGGENHEIM FELLOWSHIP
Marjorie McIntosh, professor of history at the University of
Colorado at Boulder, has received a $30,000 Guggenheim Fellowship to
support her research on medieval England.
McIntosh was the only recipient from the Rocky Mountain region to
receive one of the prestigious fellowships in the John Guggenheim Memorial
Foundation's 71st annual competition. She was one of 152 artists, scholars
and scientists chosen from the 2,856 applicants.
Guggenheim Fellows are appointed on the basis of unusually
distinguished achievement in the past and exceptional promise for future
accomplishment. The fellowship will be awarded for the period of September
1995 through August 1996.
This semester McIntosh also received CU's Stearns Award and the
highest recognition of her peers for teaching, the Boulder Faculty Assembly
Excellence in Teaching Award.
"I'm extremely grateful to have had such a remarkable spring," said
McIntosh. "The Guggenheim will enable me to finish the last piece of
research in England and write a book. My project explores how English
villages and towns in the later medieval period tried to control types of
social misbehavior that threatened the harmony and order of their
communities," she said.
"I'm pleased that CU-Boulder was on the Guggenheim list of awards
this year, for the great majority of the fellowships are granted in the
eastern part of the country and in California." she said.
