Schwab Academic Excellence Award (December 2018)

I have just received notification that I am one of the recipients for the 2019 Schwab Academic Excellence Award granted by the Institute for the Arts and the Humanities at UNC-Chapel Hill, and made possible by an endowment from IAH Advisory Board Vice Chair Nelson Schwab III (’67, English). I am greatly honored!

NEH Fellowship (2018)

December 2017: I received a 2018 NEH Fellowship for my project titled “Language and Indigeneity in a Global World: Guarani Spaces and Linguistic Decolonization in Paraguay”.

I will be doing fieldwork in Argentina and Paraguay to document current Guarani language practices and create the first digital archive of contemporary Guarani, which will be the first publicly accessible, fully searchable archive of any of the Guarani languages.
