Assistant Professor of Sociology Silvia Dominguez receives the Ford Foundation fellowship.

The Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowship is a highly competitive program that Professor Domiguez is honored to have received. The goal of the fellowship is to increase diversity in academia.

With this fellowship, Professor Dominguez plans to finish her book which is under contract with New York University Press.
