Dawne Curry, professor in the Department of History and the Ethnic Studies program, has earned funding from the Office of Research's Arts and Humanities Research Enhancement Program. Designed to help faculty achieve short-term goals that increases competitiveness for external grants or the impact of their work, the funding will support her project, "Liberation Struggle Eulogies: Death and Violence in Apartheid South Africa."
Curry's research focuses on 20th and 21st century African history with an emphasis on South African protest and resistance struggles. She has made several research trips—one as a Fulbright scholar—and organized Education Abroad programs in South Africa, a country that she calls her "home away from home."
