PhD Candidates in Art History Awarded Prestigious LAII Fellowship

Beth Norwood, Bre Reiss, and Ellie Kane, three PhD candidates in art history, have all been awarded a Latin American and Iberian Institute Fellowship. In addition to insurance and a stipend, the fellowship is renewable for a second year. For this scholarship, our students faced off against PhD candidates from departments like Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, and History.

The LAII is part of a wide-reaching scholarly community at The University of New Mexico. Graduate students in departments across campus engage in dynamic research that spans disciplines and reaches across geographic boundaries. To support their efforts, the LAII offers competitive PhD Fellowship awards to doctoral students to support dissertation research and writing related to Latin America.

We congratulate our fellows on this remarkable achievement!
