Dear Colleagues,
It’s my great pleasure to announce that one former PhD candidate and another current PhD candidate in FMS have been honored by SCMS!
Carolyn Jacobs won the 2024 SCMS Dissertation Award for “Sanitizing Cinema: Public Health and the Regulation of American Motion Pictures, 1896–1920,” while Lydia Tuan took second place in the 2025 Student Writing competition for “‘Vivir en estas cajas de zapatos.’ Grids, Lines, and the Mediation of Flatness in Gustavo Taretto’s Medianeras (2011).”
Please join me in congratulating Carolyn and Lydia!
All best wishes,
John
