Awards
In partnership with the Barrett Honors College
and the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes, GCK is pleased
to announce the recipients of two scholarships for undergraduate
honors research on global and comparative knowledges. Each recipient
will receive $1000 to support their research, as well as the
opportunity to work with GCK researchers as they research and write
their theses.
Grace Shigetani:
Ms. Shigetani
will spend the spring of 2008 in Bosnia
studying the credibility and legitimacy of the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International
Court of Justice among the Bosnian public.
Carah Campini and Samantha Willy:
Ms. Campini and Ms. Willy are currently at
work in Brazil, studying the circulation of global ideas of beauty
and health and their uptake in Brazilian culture. Using ethnographic
approaches, they hope to illuminate not only how Brazilian ideas of
beauty are changing in a globalizing world, as a function of race
and class, but also how those changes are entwined with the material
practices of plastic surgery and the transformation of the female
body.
