October 12, 2021

Congratulations to Professor Elizabeth DeLoughrey who was awarded a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship!

Created in 1925 by Simon and Olga Guggenheim in memory of their son John Simon Guggenheim, the foundation has offered fellowships to exceptional individuals in pursuit of scholarship in any field of knowledge and creation in any art form, under the freest possible conditions.  Professor DeLoughrey, who also holds an appointment at the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, has published a number of books about postcolonial and Indigenous literatures and the arts, particularly in relation to the environment, climate change and the Anthropocene — the geologic era of human modification of the natural world.  Read the full announcement here.
