It is gratifying to see the book taking on its own life, being read and resonating with colleagues in different disciplines.</p> <p>“I hope that these awards reaffirm the value of working across disciplines to examine how we respond to political and environmental violence and how images help shape our political imagination.”</p> <h3><a href="https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news/carolina-sa-carvalho-recognized-multiple-awards-latest-book#:~:text=Carolina%20S%C3%A1%20Carvalho%2C%20an%20assistant,Century%20Latin%20America%2C%20published%20by">Read the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science story</a></h3> <h3><a href="https://nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810145412/traces-of-the-unseen/">Read about Carolina Sá Carvalho's book at the Northwestern University Press</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">FAS</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-add-new-story-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Add new tags</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/department-spanish-and-portuguese" hreflang="en">department of Spanish and Portuguese</a></div> </div> </div> Thu, 20 Jun 2024 01:38:24 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 308180 at
