The New York Public Library's Center For Research In The Humanities Announces The 2021-2022 Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellows

Pichaya Damrongpiwat is among the inaugural class of fellows for the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellowship Program at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building's Center for Research in the Humanities, as announced by the New York Public Library:

"Pichaya Damrongpiwat is a Ph.D. Candidate in English at Cornell University. As a Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellow, Pichaya will research her project 'Every morsel of blank': Paper Recycling as Literary Practice in Women's Archives, which argues for revising our understanding of paper recycling in the context of literature using three women writers in the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: Emily Brontë, Frances Burney, and Emily Dickinson. The project challenges the current understanding of recycling as the result of economic necessity by situating paper recycling within the context of gendered restrictions on women's writing and their resulting literary and composition practices."

Pichaya Damrongpiwat is a Ph.D. Candidate in English at Cornell University, working on the literature and culture of the long eighteenth century (1688-1815) with a broad emphasis on gender, affect, and theories of materialism.
