Joris Roosen
(Utrecht University) received a Special Commendation for “The Black Death Digital Archive”. The judges were impressed with the cross-national reach of the project (both in terms of the research team itself as well as the global reach of their work), its potential to advance scholarly and public understanding of the second plague pandemic through the creation of a multidisciplinary web portal, and its exciting integration of Medieval Studies with the burgeoning field of the Medical Humanities. Dr. Roosen was honored at the CARMEN Annual Meeting in Prague in September 2019, where he workshopped his project with the support of a €100 CARMEN travel bursary.
