Gillian awarded Watson Fellowship!

// March 14th, 2009 // No Comments » // News, Press

This is big-time, serious, life-changing, wonderful news!

I am one of forty graduating college seniors who have been given the honor of being this year’s Watson Fellows! The Watson Fellowship is a prestigious and generous one-year grant awarded to college seniors of unusual promise for a year of independent exploration and travel outside the United States.

My Watson year will begin July 28th and will take me (and my harp!) through Germany, France, India, Indonesia, China and Japan to explore the evolving relationships between musicians, their music, and technologies in the age of social media. I will not be allowed to re-enter the United States for the full twelve months of my Watson year, but I hope you’ll stay in touch with me through my mailing list and through this website, which will serve in part as a multimedia travel blog.

Claudia Ginanni wrote a fantastic article about my project for Bryn Mawr College. You can read the article online here.
