Two members of the faculty have been awarded Fulbright Scholar grants during the 2006-07 academic year. Mark E. Lincicome, associate professor of history, will pursue his new research project, “Peripheral Visions: Imagining Asia in Japan and Australia, 1853-1933,” at Rikkyo University, Tokyo. Lincicome, who specializes in early modern and modern Japanese history and culture, also received a Japan Foundation Short Term Research Fellowship for this same project. Next month, he will travel to Deakin University, in Melbourne, Australia, to examine archives there as part of the same project, with funding coming from a 2005 Arthur J. O’Leary Faculty Recognition Award he received from Holy Cross.
Karen Turner, professor of history, will pursue her research and work on her documentary film, The Things We Carry: Vietnamese Women Veterans in Voice and Memory, at the Vietnam National University in Hanoi. Turner specializes in law and human rights in Asia as well as comparative law and women and war. Widely published, she has also produced and directed the documentary film, Hidden Warriors: Voices from the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Turner, who was instrumental in the development of the Asian Studies program at Holy Cross, has been the recipient of several academic awards and honors—in 2002-05, she was the Rev. John E. Brooks, S.J., Professor in the Humanities.
