Maria Bowling GS, a first-year graduate student in the Department of History, passed away on Sunday, according to a campus email from Rodney Priestley, Dean of the Graduate School, and W. Rochelle Calhoun, Vice President for Campus Life.
Bowling held an M.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in International Studies, with at least one from Sorbonne University in Paris. Her research centered on Angola, and her interests included “diplomacy of non-state actors during decolonization, state and nation-building in civil conflict, language in postcolonial Angola, and family histories,” according to Beyond Borders, a Ph.D. scholarship program.
A gathering will be held on Monday, Nov. 10, at 6 p.m. in the multipurpose room of the Carl A. Fields Center, where deans from the Office of Religious Life, counselors from Counseling and Psychological Services, and Graduate School staff will be available.
“We plan to share more about Maria in a remembrance on the University website in the coming days,” the email said.
The email did not specify a cause of death. Bowling’s death is the eighth of a current student at Princeton in the last four years.
The ‘Prince’ will be writing an obituary for Bowling. Please contact news[at]dailyprincetonian.com if you have memories you’d like to share.
