Author of the book&nbsp;<em>Aegean Bronze Age Art: Meaning in the Making</em>, Knappett&nbsp;is&nbsp;currently directing fieldwork at Palaikastro on the island of Crete in Greece, and also conducts research on pottery from a variety of other Aegean sites.</p> <p>“It is really invigorating to be recognized in this way, and to join such a cohort of scholars and artists,” said Knappett, who holds the Walter Graham/Homer Thompson Chair in Aegean Prehistory. “This fellowship will allow me to write my next book – on practices of containment. I will look at the fundamental role containers have played in humanity’s past, and how they continue to shape contemporary lifeways, in ways we often to choose to overlook or forget.”</p> <p>“Working at the intersection of art, history and archaeology, Professor Knappett’s work continues to reveal the richness and complexity of material culture in the Aegean Bronze Age,” said Professor&nbsp;<strong>Melanie Woodin</strong>, dean of the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science. “It is my honour to congratulate him on being named as a 2024 Guggenheim fellow.”</p> </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> Tue, 07 May 2024 14:18:20 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 307805 at Kamari Clarke awarded Guggenheim Fellowship /celebrates/kamari-clarke-awarded-guggenheim-fellowship <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Kamari Clarke awarded Guggenheim Fellowship</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/research-innovation" hreflang="en">Research &amp; Innovation</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2021-04-12T15:52:50-04:00" title="Monday, April 12, 2021 - 15:52" class="datetime">Mon, 04/12/2021 - 15:52</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/guggenheim-fellowship" hreflang="en">Guggenheim Fellowship</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/centre-criminology-sociolegal-studies" hreflang="en">Centre for Criminology &amp; Sociolegal Studies</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/centre-diaspora-transnational-studies" hreflang="en">Centre for Diaspora &amp; Transnational Studies</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/media/Clarke-Kamari-crop.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="&quot;&quot;"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>Kamari Clarke</strong>, a distinguished professor at the <a href="https://www.crimsl.utoronto.ca/">Centre for Criminology &amp; Sociolegal Studies</a> and the <a href="https://cdts.utoronto.ca/">Centre for Diaspora &amp; Transnational Studies</a> in the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science at the University of Toronto, has been recognized with&nbsp;a Guggenheim Fellowship from <a href="https://www.gf.org/">the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation</a>.</p> <p>A legal scholar and anthropologist, Clarke’s career spans more than two decades as an expert in such areas as international justice, religious nationalism, and the politics of globalization and race.

Her more recent work, <em>Giving to God: Islamic Charity in Revolutionary Times</em>, describes a religious ethics of giving in which believers engage with God by way of giving to the poor.&nbsp;</p> <p>“The question of how theologies shape lives has stayed with me throughout my career,” she says. “Working with Egyptian interlocutors with whom I have established long-term relationships, I study and write about Islam as it unfolds in the midst of their everyday lives.”&nbsp;</p> <p>Mittermaier describes her upcoming book as her most ambitious to date: an ethnographic study of God. In this work, she will apply her expertise in Islam&nbsp;and work with other scholars in the Abrahamic faiths.</p> <h3><a href="https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news/four-faculty-awarded-prestigious-guggenheim-fellowships">Read the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</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> Mon, 12 Apr 2021 19:31:52 +0000 lanthierj 169034 at Eugenia Kumacheva awarded Guggenheim Fellowship /celebrates/eugenia-kumacheva-awarded-guggenheim-fellowship <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Eugenia Kumacheva awarded Guggenheim Fellowship</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/research-innovation" hreflang="en">Research &amp; Innovation</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2021-04-12T15:30:49-04:00" title="Monday, April 12, 2021 - 15:30" class="datetime">Mon, 04/12/2021 - 15:30</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/guggenheim-fellowship" hreflang="en">Guggenheim Fellowship</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/department-chemistry" hreflang="en">Department of Chemistry</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/ibme" hreflang="en">IBME</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/women-stem" hreflang="en">Women in STEM</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/media/Eugenia_Kumacheva-crop.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="Eugenia Kumacheva"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><a href="https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/university-professors/">University Professor</a> <strong>Eugenia Kumacheva</strong>, a distinguished professor of chemistry in the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science, has been recognized with&nbsp;a Guggenheim Fellowship from <a href="https://www.gf.org/">the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation</a>.</p> <p>Kumacheva’s &nbsp;research explores the field of “soft matter” or polymers, colloids, liquid crystals, hydrogels and living matter.

He is currently writing two books. The first considers clerical sexual abuse in Latin America, with a focus on U.S. priests who moved – or were moved – to Central America to evade suspicion. The second is an ethnography of traffic in Guatemala City that realigns conversations about security, mobility, and infrastructure in Latin America.</p> <p>“The Guggenheim Fellowship comes at exactly the right time for me: at a moment when I need some time to consider the conceptual and political intricacies of transnational clerical sexual abuse,” O'Neill says. “I’m very grateful to the Foundation.”</p> <p>O’Neill’s examination of the moral dimensions of contemporary political practice in Latin America informs the trilogy he has already written on the politics of Pentecostalism in Guatemala. Each of these books explores the “waning viability of disciplinary institutions and how new strains of Christian piety have become recognizable modes of governance in Central America.”</p> <h3><a href="https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news/four-faculty-awarded-prestigious-guggenheim-fellowships">Read the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</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> Mon, 12 Apr 2021 19:29:55 +0000 lanthierj 169032 at
