Joshua Cousins recently received a Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship to support his final year of research and writing. The Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship supports outstanding doctoral students working on dissertations that are unusually creative, ambitious and risk-taking. Joshua was also awarded the Trent R. Dames Civil Engineering History Fellowship at The Huntington Library for his research project entitled “Of Floods and Droughts: The nature of technology and the transformation of stormwater in Los Angeles, 1862-Present”. The fellowship provides two months of support to conduct archival research at The Huntington.
