We are delighted to announce Sylvia Wu (University of Chicago) as the winner of Khamseen’s inaugural Graduate Student Presentation Award for her submission entitled “The Ashab Mosque in Quanzhou: A Coastal Mosque in South China.”

Khamseen: Islamic Art History Online has been offering short-form presentations in Islamic art and related fields since the website’s launch in Fall 2020. The PhD has been a requirement for contributors. However, after receiving interest from advanced graduate students, Khamseen organized its first annual Graduate Student Presentation Award to extend participation to select PhD candidates.
As the Graduate Student Presentation awardee, Sylvia Wu will receive a $500 award and work with Team Khamseen to prepare her presentation for publication on the Khamseen website.Congratulations to Sylvia Wu! We look forward to seeing her work go live very soon.
