Maya Daurio, from the Department of Anthropology and Stephen Chignell from IRES, the Institute for Resources, Environment, and Sustainability are 2021’s scholarship winners.
Daurio and Chignell’s project, Ecologies of Harm: Mapping Contexts of Vulnerability in the Time of COVID-19, acts as a complement to statistical renderings of COVID-19, encouraging us to reflect on the lives beneath the numbers. In line with principles of counter-mapping, our research illustrates how harms caused by the pandemic intersect with other injustices and with specific geographies to exacerbate vulnerabilities of marginalized populations.
Congratulations to both on their winning submission.
