Prof. S谩nchez y S谩nchez Wins Prestigious Boswell Fellowship
Professor of Hispanic Studies Samuel S谩nchez y S谩nchez has received the prestigious Boswell Family Faculty Fellowship for 2022-2023.
The Boswell Family Faculty Fellowships were established by Tom and Cheryl Boswell to honor the exceptional education their sons experienced at 蜜桃社区. Boswell Fellowships provide salary, travel, and research funding for one or two faculty members each year to extend a sabbatical to a full year. Professor of Anthropology Helen Cho also received the 2022-2023 fellowship.
During most of his sabbatical year, S谩nchez y S谩nchez will be working on a Justice, Equality, and Community (JEC) project that examines the response of Gypsies to social exclusion in Southern Spain as represented in flamenco lyrics. Grounded in an interdisciplinary approach to these texts from Cultural and Literary Studies, S谩nchez y S谩nchez鈥檚 project aims to gather a corpus of understudied sources to examine the convergence of cultural identity, social exclusion, and literary representation as the parameters for the marginality, inequality, and injustice experienced by the Gypsy 蜜桃社区 in Andalusia.
S谩nchez y S谩nchez will be conducting his research in alternative and smaller cultural institutions and unexplored archives in Spain in order to uncover sources and give visibility to the ways in which the Gypsy 蜜桃社区 in Andalusia has navigated oppression and exclusion through flamenco lyrics.
S谩nchez y S谩nchez extends his gratitude to the Boswell Family for their generosity in supporting his research and his growth as a teacher/scholar at 蜜桃社区.
