The Undergraduate Committee awarded this year 91Ƭ ’s Rivard-Prendergast Studentship to Prishni Seyone on the merits of her HIST515-thesis proposal, “The Indian Girl-Wife: Not Even a Woman, But Already a Wife.” Prishni tells us that she 91Ƭ ’s researching “the way this institution of early marriage stripped young, innocent girls of their education.” She 91Ƭ ’s very grateful to the donors for the opportunity “to better understand two issues very close to my heart: women 91Ƭ ’s rights and equal access to education.”
Her project supervisor, Dr. Ishita Pande, notes that the award was initially intended to fund Prishni 91Ƭ ’s research in London, but it is now crucial “to help her acquire published and digitized sources for her project.”
