Good news from England, where Jameel Hampton (BA Hons.) is currently a doctoral student at the University of Bristol, where he is completing his doctoral dissertation, 'Disability and the Welfare State in Britain, 1942-1970,' under the supervision of Rodney Lowe and David Gladstone. Jameel was earlier awarded a prestigious Universities UK ORS Award for overseas grad students, and has just now been awarded the Edward Thompson Memorial Bursary from the Society for the Study of Labour History, tenable at the Modern Records Centre, University of Warwick. The award is named in honour of E.P. Thompson, one of the great historians of the twentieth century. Congratulations, Jameel!
