The Research Report will celebrate its first anniversary on October 11th and in honor of this milestone, I want to thank each of you who has contributed to its execution over this past year. Your emails, feedback, and overall enthusiasm for the success of this weekly newsletter is appreciated more than you know. Please keep sharing your feedback and content to ResearchWins@unm.edu so that it continues to reflect the important work being done here at the College.
In addition to the Research Report, many new initiatives have been launched over the past year to support your research efforts, including ASSURE, the Community-Based Research Initiative, and most recently: the Writing Subvention and the Travel Support Programs. I’m excited to announce the first recipients of these awards and congratulate them on their achievement.

Dr. Feroza Jussawalla and Dr. Doaa Omran have been very active doing research and publications in the area of Muslim Women’s Writing from the Middle East and from South and South-East Asia. Their book, Memory Voice and Identity: Muslim Women’s Writing from Across the Middle East was published by Routledge in 2021. The twenty chapters of the volume read colonization and post-colonization in conjunction with Islamic feminism. Related to the two publications on Muslim Women’s Writing, Dr. Jussawalla co-coordinated, presided and presented on two panels on Muslim Women’s writing at the International Symposium of the Modern Language Association in Glasgow in June and also helped coordinate the 15th International D.H.Lawrence conference in Taos this past July. | | |
