Each year, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) awards a select number of summer fellowships to PhD candidates whose research focuses on Latin America (including Brazil), the Caribbean, and U.S.-Latinx studies. These fellowships support research travel, dissertation writing, and other scholarly activities that help advance students’ academic and professional development during the summer months.
These fellowships attract an exceptional pool of proposals from graduate students across campus, representing disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and social ecology and employing a wide range of humanistic approaches and methodologies.
This year, CLACS is pleased to announce the recipients of the Sutton Graduate Research Summer Grant, and the Niebla Foundation Graduate Research Summer Grant.
- Sutton: Misael de la Rosa - Department of English, School of Humanities
- Niebla: Berenice Tepozano - Department of History, School of Humanities
- Niebla: Maira Delgado Laurens - Department of Global Studies, School of Social Sciences
We commend these students for their outstanding proposals.
These opportunities for our graduate students would not be possible without the generous contributions from Marilyn Sutton, and the Fernando and Olga Niebla Foundation.
