DDRA Fellowship Recipient: Ashlee Dauphinais
|
Five doctoral candidates from The Ohio State University have been awarded the prestigious Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship by the U.S. Department of Education, International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE) office. One of which is from our very own department.
Ashlee Dauphinais, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, will conduct her dissertation research in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for 12 months studying
Linguistic Practices among Women with Turner Syndrome in Brazil.
Dauphinais will examine the topic of linguistic practices and the construction of womanhood among individuals with Turner Syndrome (TS), one of the most common chromosomal intersex conditions. Her project examines linguistic variation and other discursive practices to explore how TS individuals mitigate personal and group identity in light of larger discourses of womanhood and femininity in Brazil. Her research facilitates insights on intersections of language, the body, health practices, and social conceptions of gender for scholars and medical practitioners.

Tinker Fellow: Tania Espinales Correa
|
Tinker Fellow, Tania Espinales Correa, received funds to travel to Mexico City to interview Pável Granados, the coordinator of the Mexican Popular Music Catalog of the National Sound Library. She also conducted archival work at the Octavio Paz and the Salvador Novo collections of the National Sound Library of Mexico in order to establish a broad body of songs from nostalgic character written at the beginning of the last century in Mexico City by internal Mexican migrants. The purpose of her research is to understand the role of nostalgia in the music of migrants by observing their musical and geographical trajectories.
Tania explained, "The support received from the Tinker Foundation has been fundamental in the realization of this research, since it has allowed me to continue and expand my work on music and migration, which I believe will be the basis of my doctoral thesis. The support of the Foundation has given me the opportunity to establish invaluable relationships with intellectuals and collectors, whose advice and wisdom will be fundamental for my doctoral thesis, as well as for my academic and professional future."
Tinker Field Research Grants are awarded to graduate students to support pre-dissertation research travel to and within Latin America. CLAS affiliates will be invited to attend "Tinker Talk" round table events throughout the year that feature the research progress of our Tinker Fellows.
