[LCC] 2008 Winkler Memorial Prize

[Kirk Ormand]

With apologies to for the lateness of this message, I am delighted to  
announce the winners of the 2008 John J. Winkler Memorial Prize,  
which was awarded last spring.  In the graduate division, the Prize  
went to Danielle Meinrath, a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University,  
for "The Ancilla and her Ass: Re-reading Photis in Apuleius'  
Metamorphoses." In the undergraduate division the prize went to  
Alison Fields, a Claissical Civilization major at NYU for "Megilla/ 
us: The (Fe)Male Penetrator of Lucian's Dialogue of the Courtesans."   
Ms. Meinrath has just delivered her paper as the annual Winkler  
Memorial Lecture at Oberlin College.

The 2008 Prize was judged by a jury of 4:  Tamara Chin, University of  
Chicago; Jay Reed, University of Michigan; Elizabeth Manwell,  
Kalamazoo College; David Fredrick, University of Arkansas.  David  
Halperin (Chair of the Winkler Memorial Trust), the jury, and I offer  
our congratulations to Ms. Meinrath and Ms. Fields for their  
outstanding and innovative work.

A call for papers for the 2009 Winkler Memorial Prize will go out  
shortly; details are available now at http://www.oberlin.edu/faculty/

The John J. Winkler memorial Trust was established as an independent,  
charitable foundation on June 1, 1990. Its purpose is to honor Jack  
Winkler's memory and to promote both his scholarly and his political  
ideals. Inquiries about the Prize, tax-deductible gifts to the Trust,
