PhD Student Emilela Thomas-Adams, who just finished her first year in the program, was awarded the 2022 Hanawalt Prize from OSU’s Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

The essay is awarded annually to the best graduate essay on a Medieval or Renaissance topic. Emilela’s paper, “Silky Sinew and Sutured Skin: Embroidered Manuscript Repairs and Cutaneous Piety in the High Middle Ages,” was written for Professor Christian Kleinbub’s Autumn 2021 Graduate Seminar on “Materiality.”  

Congratulations, Emilela!
