Dr Corisande Fenwick and Professor Daniel Wilhelm
Dr Corisande Fenwick and Professor Daniel Wilhelm - Two UCL researchers have been awarded prestigious 2022 Philip Leverhulme Prizes for their internationally recognised work in archaeology and economics. Both based in UCL's Faculty of Social & Historical Sciences, Dr Corisande Fenwick (UCL Archaeology) and Professor Daniel Wilhelm (UCL Economics) have each been awarded a prize worth £100,000. Each year, the Leverhulme Trust gives out 30 such prizes to exceptional researchers whose work has already attracted international recognition and whose future careers are extremely promising. Chosen from more 300 nominations, the Trust offered five prizes in each of the following subject areas, which change every year: Archaeology, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, Geography, and Languages and Literatures. Dr Fenwick was awarded a prize in Archaeology for her work on empire and state formation, agriculture, technology, Islamic and late antique archaeology, and North Africa and the Mediterranean. Her research crosscuts traditional disciplinary boundaries between archaeology and history and traditional chronological boundaries between late antiquity and the Islamic period. She has established herself as one of the leading archaeologists of early Islamic and late antique archaeology, particularly in North Africa.
