Congratulations to the recipients of the 2018 DWC graduate funding awards:

  • The Larry J. Siegel Graduate Fellowship for the Study of Gender and Crime is awarded to Aneesa Baboolal, a doctoral candidate at the University of Delaware, for her project called: “Diversity & Exclusion After the 2016 Presidential Election: An Intersectional Understanding of Racialized and Gendered Experiences of Muslim Students.”
  • The Feminist Criminology Graduate Research Scholarship is awarded to Pilar Larroulet, a doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland, for her project called: “Reintegration, Desistance, and Recidivism Among Female Inmates in Chile.”

Congratulations to both of our award recipients!

There is even more exciting graduate funding news to share. As it has in prior years, the committee this year identified several extremely deserving applications in both award categories. Thus, this year the committee — with the support of the DWC Executive Council and the Feminist Criminology Editorial Board — voted to formally recognize two additional proposals in each category with a $500 Honorable Mention Award.

  • Honorable mention for the 2018 Larry J. Siegel Graduate Fellowship for the Study of Gender and Crime is awarded to:
    • Meggan J. Lee, a doctoral candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, for her project called: “Playing the Juridical Field: An Ethnographic Inquiry into Domestic Violence Court.”
    • Margaret Campe, a doctoral candidate at the University of Kentucky, for her project called: “Students on the Margins: Intersectionality and College Campus Sexual Assault.”
  • Honorable mention for the 2018 Feminist Criminology Graduate Research Scholarship is awarded to:
    • Shannon B. Harper, a doctoral candidate at the University of Illinois at Chicago, for her project called: “Help Sought, Survival Uncertain: Using Mixed-Methods to Examine the Relationship Between Domestic Violence Resources and Neighborhood Intimate Partner Homicide Trajectories.”
    • Veronica Lerma, a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Merced, for her project called: “Chicana Criminalization in the Era of Mass Incarceration: An Intersectional Analysis of Criminalization in California’s Central Valley.”

Thank you to the selection committee members who evaluated the proposals this year: Drs. Rosemary Barberet, Kristy Holtfreter, Amanda Burgess-Proctor, Sheetal Ranjan and Margaret Shaw.

Thank you also to the people who make these awards possible: Larry J. Siegel, Terri Libby, and the Darald and Julie Libby Foundation; members of the Feminist Criminology editorial board; and members of the DWC executive council.
