New Casa Muraro Fellowships

Thanks to generous support from the Packard Humanities Institute, the department was able to offer several competitive fellowships for research in Venice this summer. The inaugural cohort consisted of four faculty members and three doctoral research fellows, whose projects spanned art and music history, early modern and contemporary subjects, archival and digital humanities projects, and oral histories and site-specific investigations. The department also awarded new program fellowships to two graduate students participating in Columbia’s Summer Program in Venice. These fellowships coincided with significant advances in the renovation of Casa Muraro itself. With the completion of exterior work, our attention now shifts to the interior renovation of the library and the creation of new classrooms and conference spaces.
