Awards Announced: Immersive Dissertation Research Fellowship

March 30, 2020

Humanities Engage is delighted to announce the inaugural Immersive Dissertation Research Fellowship awardees.

These innovative, competitive research fellowships incentivize and support dissertation projects that involve substantial professional development and will likely result in dissertation formats other than the conventional proto-monograph.

Alyssa Quintanilla, Ph.D. Candidate in Critical and Cultural Studies, Department of English: “A Matter of Waste and Bodies: Life, Death, and Materiality in the United States-Mexico Borderlands 1990 to the Present”

On behalf also of the Steering Committee, our warm thanks go to all graduate student applicants for proposing innovative dissertation research.
