Graduate Student Olivia Cocking Wins SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship

Graduate Student Olivia Cocking recently received a doctoral fellowship from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada. The generous multi-year fellowships “support high-calibre students engaged in doctoral programs in the social sciences and humanities.” Cocking’s work centers on the history of women and gender in nineteenth- and twentieth-century France, particularly how gender shapes experiences of urban life. Drs. Judith A. Miller and Elizabeth Goodstein serve as Cocking’s dissertation supervisors.
