All-disciplines Postgraduate Awards, 2009-10
Fulbright Project: Postgraduate Award, LSE
David M. Bholat is a doctorate student in anthropology and lecturer in the College at the University of Chicago. A native of Redondo Beach, California, David graduated from Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service with highest honors in 2004, and earned a Masters from the University of Chicago in 2006. David’s research interests are two-fold. First, he is interested in the historical evolution of the concept of liquidity within London clearing banks and its relation to changing categories of money in British political economy. Second, his research explores how the current debate around the nationalization-privatization of Northern Rock expresses a deeper cultural contest over the boundaries between the alienable and inalienable dimensions of property ownership. David’s past honors include grants from the National Science Foundation, the State of Illinois, and the Coca-Cola Foundation, as well as research positions at UCLA and the Library of Congress.
