The Undergraduate Committee awarded this year ý ’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 ý ’s researching “the way this institution of early marriage stripped young, innocent girls of their education.” She ý ’s very grateful to the donors for the opportunity “to better understand two issues very close to my heart: women ý ’s rights and equal access to education.”
Her project supervisor, Dr. Ishita Pande, notes that the award was initially intended to fund Prishni ý ’s research in London, but it is now crucial “to help her acquire published and digitized sources for her project.”
