I am honored to have been named the UW Center for Human Right\u2019s 2017 Mack-Mayerfeld<\/a> Fellow. This award has made an invaluable contribution to my dissertation research in three specific areas.<\/p>\n

First, this grant award afforded me access to a variety of resources and networks that allowed me to strengthen and complete an article (\u201cRenouncing Imperialism, Resisting Rights: African Churches\u2019 Strategic Symbolic Resistance to LGBT Inclusion\u201d) which was accepted in August 2017 for publication at International Studies Quarterly (ISQ)<\/em><\/a>. I have been invited to present this research as part of a new lecture series on global LGBT-rights movements at Drexel University during the 2017-18 academic year. In these ways, my UWCHR-funded research will contribute to both scholars\u2019 and undergraduates\u2019 understandings of the daily challenges and opportunities Africa\u2019s sexual minorities face.<\/p>\n

Second, this grant award covered transcription costs for original dissertation research interviews I conducted in 2015-16. In analyzing these now-transcribed interviews, I have extended and elaborated upon the ideas presented in the forthcoming ISQ<\/em> article for my broader dissertation project.<\/p>\n

Third, the remaining grant funds will offset costs I will incur while conducting interview- and archive-based dissertation research in London and Geneva, as described in my grant research proposal. I have made arrangements to conduct this research in December 2017\/January 2018. I am happy to submit a follow-up summary report to the UWCHR in Winter 2018 to detail the results of this research. As a small token of my gratitude to the UWCHR community\u2014and to Peter Mack and Jamie Mayerfeld in particular\u2014I had the honor of thanking UWCHR by name in my ISQ<\/em> acknowledgements. I will continue to do so in my future research publications and public lectures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
