Judy Lynne Fisher (Feminist & Gender Studies ’20) recently earned a Fulbright award!

With this support, Judy, a doctoral student in the American Studies Program at Purdue University, will conduct research in support of her dissertation, “German Indianthusiasm and Settler Colonialism: German Perceptions of ‘Indians.’” Inspired by her work with Dr. Santiago Ivan Guerra, Director and Associate Professor of Southwest Studies, and her enrollment in “Hidden Spaces, Hidden Narratives: Intersectionality Studies in Berlin” with Dr. Heidi R. Lewis, Director and Associate Professor of Feminist & Gender Studies, Judy’s project examines German Indianthusiasm and German settler colonialism in German Southwest Africa (DSWA) and North America, paying particular attention to the possibilities of transnational Indigenous solidarity between Native Americans and Indigenous peoples who were victims of German violence in DSWA, what is now Namibia.

Congratulations, Judy! We are so proud to know you!
