On a sunny afternoon at the end of April, the Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism honored a number of its kinfolk with awards as well as research grants for undergraduate and graduate students. Selecting grantees was a challenge, due to the strong interest among numerous students in conducting research on themes of interest to the Center. As demonstrated last year during the inaugural awards ceremony, the campus-wide interest in the critical study of racism, immigration, and colonialism is robust. The Center is grateful to all applicants, recommenders, nominators, and nominees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
