Jaime Goodrich, an assistant professor of English at Wayne State University, has earned a Fulbright Award, one of the most prestigious awards in the world. She will conduct research and teach at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. Goodrich joins a list of Fulbright scholars that includes 43 Nobel Prize and 87 Pulitzer Prize winners. Her research area is early modern British literature and she has published a number of articles on women writers. While on the Fulbright, she will research and edit the manuscript writings produced by early modern Benedictine nuns in continental convents for English women. "I will be visiting archives and libraries throughout England to research manuscripts written by Englisn nuns between 1600 and 1800...this research will form the basis of an edition of the nun's writings, as well as a book analyzing the role of literary production in English convents."
