Congratulations to Cecily Hughes, third-year PhD student in medieval art, on receiving the Einar and Eva Lund Haugen Memorial Scholarship! Administered by The Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study (SASS). The Haugen scholarship provides generous support for doctoral research in and about the Nordic regions. Cecily will use the award funding to travel to Norway and Sweden this summer and do research for her dissertation. Focusing on medieval tabernacle shrines and sacrament niches, Cecily will work with objects in the collection of the University Museum of Bergen and on the island of Gotland. Bergen’s fantastic medieval collection and Gotland’s ninety-one well-preserved medieval churches make both destinations essential for investigating Scandinavian visual and material culture from the Middle Ages and for considering the possible interactions that medieval congregants had when encountering art objects during worship. Tabernacle shrines and sacrament niches—and their interplay with sacred space—are central to Cecily’s thesis project, which will consider the affective qualities of such moveable sculptures and how they made meaning for medieval audiences.
