Spotlight: Irene Tilenius Bloom Prize

Irene Tilenius Bloom was a beloved Anne Whitney Olin Professor Emerita of Asian and Middle Eastern Cultures at Barnard College, and Chair of the Department until her retirement in 2002. She was deeply loved by her students and her colleagues. As a scholar, Bloom was dedicated to researching and translating the philosophical traditions of China. When she sadly passed in 2010, the Irene Tilenius Bloom Prize was created to gift and support young Barnard students in research. Contact Professor Max D. Moermann or Professor Rachel McDermott for more information.
