OFFICE OF FELLOWSHIPS

Fellowship Winners 2019–20

Welcome to ’s Office of Fellowships!

You may wonder, “What is a fellowship?” A fellowship can be • a grant for a creative or research project • a scholarship for an academic qualification • an internship for professional development

What makes a grant, scholarship, or internship a fellowship is the cohort of people chosen to develop their talents together with guidance from mentors, through group activities, and in support of a larger goal.

This booklet lists the hundreds of Northwestern students and alumni who secured external funding during the 2019–20 academic year to create, research, study, and intern through fellow­ships all over the country and around the globe. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, recipients may be unable to use their awards in summer 2020 or during the 2020–21 academic year; but to honor the achievement of their having been selected, we have announced their awards regardless of any postponements or cancelations.

The fellowships are listed in four categories: • those requiring students to apply first to Northwestern for endorsement before filing an application to a national competition • those offering international experiences by taking recipients outside the • those taking recipients off campus to destinations within the United States • those funding student activities on campus

We want you to join these fellowship winners and help us paint the world purple, one Wildcat at a time!

Erika Barrios, a 2020 Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences graduate who majored in English, won the Mellon University Press Diversity Fellowship and will work this year for the university press of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At Northwestern, Barrios was also a Kaplan Scholar and conducted independent research as a Mellon Mays Undergrad­uate Fellow.

Political science major James Crisafulli capped his senior year in Weinberg College by landing two awards. Through a summer Humanity in Action Fellowship, Crisafulli designed a project on a human rights issue. In the fall he begins his placement in Los Angeles with the Coro Fellowship, which develops emerging leaders by offering profes­ sional training across multiple sectors.

Ayana Davis, a 2020 human development and psychological services graduate in the School of Education and Social Policy, is teaching English in Spain this year through the Fulbright US Student Program. Davis also plans to volunteer with Madrid for Refugees, a nonprofit organization that supports refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants at risk of social exclusion.

After conducting research in the United States last summer, junior Weinberg psy­ chology major Sarah Eisenman was determined to gain international experience, which she secured this year with the ThinkSwiss Research Scholarship. Next summer Eisenman will travel to Basel, Switzerland, to study internet callout culture at the University of Basel’s Center for Social Psychology.

A double major in African American studies and English, 2020 Weinberg College grad­ uate Sayeed Sanchez Johnson will join Ayana Davis as an English teaching assistant in Spain through the Fulbright US Student Program. Sanchez is well prepared for his teaching duties as a result of his years of service to fellow undergraduates as a tutor for Northwestern’s Cook Family Writing Program.

Alexander Schwartz, a 2020 Medill School journalism graduate, will spend the next two years as a reporter for the Herald and News in Klamath Falls, Oregon.

*Awarded in 2018–19 15 A sampling of this year’s graduate student winners

Performance studies PhD student Rashayla Marie Brown enjoyed a remarkable year of securing external funding, winning the Embassy of Foreign Artists, Lucas Fellows, and Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders awards. A filmmaker and performance artist in her own right, Brown studies how contemporary art mar­ kets influence arts education.

Arturo Chang, a PhD candidate in political science, begins a postdoctoral placement at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, as a recipient of the Gaius Charles Bolin Dissertation Fellowship. Chang’s dissertation research focuses on revo­lutionary movements, nation building, popular political thought, and postcolonial projects in the Americas.

After earning a master’s degree at Oxford University, Bright Gyamfi began a PhD in history at Northwestern and this year landed two awards: the Fulbright US Student Program and the Social Science Research Council International Dissertation Research Fellowship. They will support his research on West African intellectual history, nation­ alism, pan-Africanism, and institutes of African studies.

Alongside her work with chemistry professor Omar Farha’s research group, Julia Knapp explores the properties of actinides through incorporation into metal-organic frameworks for her research as a chemistry PhD student. This year Knapp is one of several Wildcats to win funding for doctoral studies through the prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program.

Hafsa Oubou, a PhD candidate in anthropology, received support for her research through a grant from the National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Disser­ tation Fellowship Program. She is examining the controversies regarding the teaching of Islam in francophone Belgium’s public education system as a way of exploring the question of Islam in Europe today.

When political science PhD candidate Kumar Ramanathan isn’t shooting hoops or riding his bike around Chicago, he’s working on his dissertation, with support from the American Bar Foundation/Northwestern University Doctoral Fellowship in Law and Social Science. Ramanathan’s research focuses on civil rights, social policy, and immi­ gration policy in the United States.

Yuanzhao Zhang, a graduate of Zhejiang University and a PhD candidate in physics, seeks new theories for predicting collective behavior in complex systems, making him an ideal candidate for the Omidyar Complexity Postdoctoral Fellowship. Zhang also landed a Schmidt Science Fellows award, which will help him pivot from his PhD topic and achieve greater interdisciplinarity in his research.
