Research projects to be funded include a study of Burmese women in Chinese border cities; a study of gender and narrative among weight loss surgery patients; and a book project that in part explores a history of communication in mass incarceration systems between women of color and their families. CSWS will also fund research on gender in the hen house; recruiting and gender in the U.S. Armed Forces; Spanish women in the French Resistance; gender, race, and religion in the early Venezuelan Republic, and much more. In all, twelve UO graduate students will receive awards ranging from $1,900 to $2,500. Eight faculty scholars will receive awards ranging up to $8,000 each. The Jane Grant Dissertation Fellowship, which goes each year to an outstanding doctoral candidate, includes a stipend, health insurance, and a tuition waiver, and this year totals about $33,000.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21598\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/csws.uoregon.edu\/csws-noon-talk-ivan-sandoval-cervantes\/foto-maria-tortillas_web\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21598\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21598\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21598\" src=\"http:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Foto-Maria-Tortillas_WEB-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"photo by Iv\u00e1n Sandoval Cervantes\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Foto-Maria-Tortillas_WEB-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Foto-Maria-Tortillas_WEB-150x129.jpg 150w, https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Foto-Maria-Tortillas_WEB.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-21598\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by Iv\u00e1n Sandoval Cervantes<\/p><\/div>\n<h5>Jane Grant Dissertation Fellowship<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Iv\u00e1n Sandoval Cervantes, a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology, was awarded the prestigious Jane Grant Dissertation Fellowship. His dissertation topic is \u201cThe Intersections of Transnational and Internal Indigenous Migration: Gender, Kinship, and Care.\u201d He will be giving a <a href=\"http:\/\/csws.uoregon.edu\/csws-noon-talk-ivan-sandoval-cervantes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSWS Noon Talk<\/a> on April 22. Sandoval\u2019s project is based on more than twenty months of multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork with the community of Zegache in Zegache, Oaxaca; Mexico City; and Salem, Oregon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Sandoval wrote in his abstract: \u201cWhile most of the studies of migration focus either on transnational or internal migration, this project looks at the intersections of transnational and internal migrations through gender, kinship, and care relations. In the indigenous Zapotec community of Zegache, men and women migrate differently. Gendered migration is informed by the different kinship and care responsibilities that women (as mothers, sisters, and daughters) have as caretakers while men (as fathers, brothers and sons) are seen as the \u2018breadwinners.\u2019 By taking into account how gender roles inform different gendered migrations while, at the same time, redefining gender roles, this project shows how women\u2019s internal migration often allows men\u2019s transnational movements. \u201d Note: The Dean of the Graduate School will provide the Jane Grant Dissertation Fellow with tuition remission for the 2015-16 academic year. CSWS awards a stipend and also covers health insurance and fees.<\/p>\n<h5>Graduate Student Research Awards<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Lisa Beard, Department of Political Science, \u201cIf We Were Kin: Identification and Intimacy in Queer of Color and Feminist Antiracist Politics.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Kelsey Cummings, School of Journalism and Communication, \u201cGameplay Mechanics, Identity, and Ideology in Girl Games.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Jeremiah Favara, School of Journalism and Communication, \u201cAn Army of Some: Recruiting, Diversity, and Difference in the US Armed Forces.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Erin Gallo, Department of Romance Languages,\u00a0 \u201cThe Dark Side of the \u201cMexican Miracle\u201d: Transnational Feminist Engagements in Mexican Women-Authored Literature (1950-1980).\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Tobin Hansen, Department of Anthropology, \u201cMasculine Self-Identities and Gendered Living in a Northern Mexico Deportee Community.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Elizabeth Miller, Department of Sociology, \u201cGender in the Hen House: The Social Worlds of Industrial Poultry Farming.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Thomas Schmidt, School of Journalism and Communication, \u201cFrom Women\u2019s Pages to Style Pages: How the Washington Post Discovered Diversity.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Nagore Sedano, Department of Romance Languages, \u201cCo-edition of Basque American Terese Laxalt\u00b4s Unpublished Manuscript (Provisional title of introduction: \u00b4Mama Laxalt\u00b4 brings poetry to the Nevadan sheep camps: the silenced Basque female voice).\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Danielle Seid, Department of English,\u00a0 \u201cThis Body Could Be Mine: Gendered and Sex(ual) Labor in Asian American Literature and Film.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Anna Sloan, Department of Anthropology, \u201cYup\u2019ik Gender Ontologies through Time: Contemporary Voices Speak to Archaeological Questions.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Lauren Stewart, Department of Sociology, \u201cEmbodied Masculinity and Sexual Pleasure<\/li>\n<li>Alexis Yalon, Department of Anthropology, \u201cEmbodied Transformations: Gender and Narrative Among Weight Loss Surgery Patients.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Faculty Grant Awardees<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alisa Freedman, Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures, \u201cLearning Lives: Forgotten Stories of Japanese Women at American Universities in the 1950s and 1960s.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Gina Herrmann, Department of Romance Languages, \u201cSpanish Women in the French Resistance and Ravensbruck.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Sharon Luk, Department of English, \u201cThe Life of Paper: Imprisoned.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Michelle McKinley, School of Law,\u00a0 \u201cBound Biographies: Reconstructing the Lives of African Descent Peoples in the Early Modern Iberoamerican World, 1585-1685.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Xiaobo Su, Department of Geography,\u00a0 \u201cGender, Ethnicity, and Citizenship: Female Burmese Workers in Chinese Border Cities.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Analisa Taylor, Department of Romance Languages,\u00a0 \u201cBetween Longing and Memory in the Lacandon Rain Forest: Mayan Women Speak.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Elizabeth Wheeler, Department of English, \u201cDisservice Animals: Hyperbole and a Half and the Bad Subjects of Disability and Animal Studies.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Reuben Zahler, Department of History, \u201cGender, Race, and Religion in the Early Venezuelan Republic, 1800-1850.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Giustina Endowment for Research on Women in the Northwest<\/h5>\n<p>Funds for two of the award winners come from a separate endowment, the Mazie Giustina Endowment for Research on Women in the Northwest.
