Congratulations to Distinguished McKnight University Professor of English

who has been named a 2014
Guggenheim Fellow. The Guggenheim Foundation supports projects by humanities scholars, creative writers, artists, and scientists: This year, 178 fellows were chosen out of almost 3,000 applicants. Watkins was also recently awarded an
American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship and a Keble College at Oxford fellowship. Watkins will be completing a book project on interdynastic marriage in European peacemaking from the late Middle Ages to the end of the 17th century. More about Professor Watkins
