History PhD student Rachel Brody has been selected as the Morrissey College Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Engelhard Pingree Research Fellow for 2023-2024. The award recognizes the high quality and innovative nature of Brody's research combining humanities and STEM approaches to archeology. 

Brody designed and co-directs Castles and Communities Field School, which provides excellent training to new generations of archeologists in such things as excavation and lab techniques as well as Irish history and culture. In addition, Brody's article "The Material Cultures of Ectoparasites" was recently published in the prestigious Archeological Review from Cambridge. Congratulations!
