Jensen fellowship in French Languages and Literature from the Phi Beta Kappa honor society, the Edouard Morot-Sir fellowship in French studies from the Institut Français d’Amérique, and the Georges Lurcy fellowship from the UNC Graduate School, among others, all used to conduct archival research in Paris at the multiple locations of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) and les Archives nationales. An article based on her dissertation’s second chapter appears in the comparative academic journal, Renaissance Drama.
