Carolyn Fornoff, Assistant Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, has been awarded an IPRH (Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities) Summer Faculty Research Fellowship for 2020. She was one of only four recipients of this fellowship.

Professor Fornoff will be working on a chapter on climate change and indigenous futurity which is part of her book in-progress, “Subjunctive Aesthetics: Mexican Culture in the Era of Climate Change”.

IPRH’s Summer Faculty Research Fellowships are designed to help faculty at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign maximize the summer for research in service of their ongoing professional development. They provide an infusion of resources designed to jumpstart or fuel an ongoing research project over the summer months.
