Dr. Guadalupe Escobar, assistant professor in the Gender, Race & Identity (GRI) and English departments, has been awarded a prestigious ACLS (American Council of Learned Societies) Fellowship for 2023-2024 for her "Decolonial Witnessing: The Post-Cold War Testimonio of Human Rights" project.
This fellowship is a major accomplishment and a wonderful recognition of Dr. Escobar’s excellent scholarship in Latinx and Latin American literature, representation and human rights.
Dr. Escobar is the only ACLS fellowship awardee in Nevada this year and the fourth ACLS winner in GRI history (previous winners include Dr. Jen Hill, Dr. Debbie Boehm, and Dr. Prisca Gayles and Dr. Lydia Huerta).
