The INT is proud to support Dr Luis Fernando Bernardi Junqueira through our matched funding Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship scheme.
We are delighted to share that Luis has recently received the 2024 Royal Asiatic Society Bayly Prize, the UK’s most prestigious award for doctoral research in Asian studies, as well as the 8th Dissertation Prize of the Division of History of Science and Technology from the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, the world’s largest academic association for the history and philosophy of science.
Luis told us, “as someone from the Brazilian countryside and the first in my extended family to attend university, these awards mean a great deal to me. I hope they will further motivate me to complete my first monograph in the coming months and begin work on my second book-length project, which explores the history of mental healing movements in modern East Asia. I am deeply grateful to the Leverhulme Trust and the Isaac Newton Trust for their generous financial support, without which none of these projects would be possible.”
We would like to extend a huge congratulations to Luis for these massive achievements! We can’t wait to see how Luis’ project develops.
