Awards
I've been extremely fortunate to win a lot of awards to support and/or recognize the value of my research and writing. Many of these also brought me into contact with new, stimulating communities of peoples, both within academia and outside of it. This page is as much a thank you list as anything else, divided between external fellowships (newest to oldest) and internal ones sponsored by the University of Miami.
