Exchanging Storrs for Vienna: Joscha Jelitzki will spend the Spring 2024 semester in Austria’s capital to continue his dissertation research supported by a Franz Werfel Stipend:

“The Franz Werfel Scholarship is an excellence program of Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalization for the promotion of research and teaching in the field of Austrian literature, scientific cooperation and the establishment of an international network of committed German scholars in the field of Austrian literature. Developed in 1992 in the course of numerous activities for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, it is now the longest-serving scholarship program of the Ministry of Science and at the same time one of the most successful scholarship programs in the field of international mobility.”

The OEAD stipend will provide ample support to focus entirely on further research and writing the dissertation- congratulations, Joscha!!!
