Thank you for the correction Patricia- The information that Ford sent did not include our esteemed colleagues who have been recipients of the Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the past- what an incredible group of colleagues we have at UTSA!

Congratulations, Claudia!!!  A truly amazing and prestigious award!!  Dale gas!

 

 

***But in celebrating one of our own, let’s please not erase our Latina/o/x history:

·         COEHD has indeed had a Post-doc winner in the past:  Dr. Armando Trujillo (hired at UTSA in BBL in 1993 and awarded in 1995)

·         UTSA has indeed had a female Post-doc winner in the past:  Dr. Rhonda Gonzales (hired at UTSA in History in 2004 and awarded in 2006)

 

This makes me think that UTSA should have a permanent webpage dedicated to prestigious awardees such as these.

Dear Colleagues,

 

Please join me in congratulating Dr. Claudia Garcia-Louis on being awarded the Ford Foundation 2020 Post-Doctoral Fellowship! Dr. Garcia-Louis notified Dr. Aleman  and me of this amazing external recognition of her excellence and I want to share it broadly. Not only is this  award highly prestigious and competitive, but in reviewing the Ford Foundation directory,  Dr. Garcia-Louis is only the second UTSA  faculty member, and first female , and first COEHD faculty member to receive the  Ford Post-Doctoral Fellowship.  To underscore the competitive nature of this honor,  from 1980-2017 only 2% of these  awards went to the field of education. This is a wonderful  honor and recognition.

 

Dr. Garcia-Louis was awarded the fellowship for her research project, “ A Chicana Feminist Approach to Disaggregating Hispanic Ethnicity in Higher Education: An Analysis on Latina/o/x Students Sense of Belonging”. This work will  assess  â€śLatina/o/x student’s postsecondary education stagnation by considering how deculturalization, the imposition of a perpetual foreigner identity, and the homogenization of Hispanic ethnicity, at the K-12 level, influences their relationship with education in college.” Her work will have a direct impact on the type of work that is central to the UTSA and COEHD mission and have  great impact on the field.

 

What an honor! Congratulations, Dr. Garcia-Louis!

 

Warm regards,

Margo
