Congratulations to Women?s Studies Major Jessica Ziegenfuss!

Women Studies major Jessica Ziegenfuss was one of the two recipients on the OSU campus to receive the Library?s Undergraduate Research Prize this year. Ms. Ziegenfuss was granted this coveted award for her research essay entitled "The Grande Odalisque and Feminist Psychoanalysis: Subversive Re-Interpretation of an Image" which was originally written for Professor Guisela Latorre's class WS 375, Women and Visual Culture. She worked closely with Professor Latorre and Women's Studies Librarian Cynthia Preston to develop her project. Ms. Ziegenfuss was publicly honored for her excellence in research during a special luncheon at the Faculty Club during the 2008 Spring Quarter.
