AAUW Dissertation Fellowship

by Jessica Suzanne Stokes

For the coming academic year, I have been awarded the AAUW American Dissertation Fellowship! This prestigious and competitive fellowship is usually encouraged for scholars engaged in science, technology, engineering, and math fields, however they deemed my research suitably focused and compelling. I am excited for the opportunities this offers over the coming year to finish my dissertation: Crip Planet: 21st Century Ecopoetic Methods

Thank you AAUW for supporting my work and for the labor that you’ve done for over a hundred years advocating for for federal, state and local laws and policies to promote equity and prevent discrimination.
