G&A alumna awarded a AAUW postdoctoral fellowship
Congratulations to G&A alumna Dr. Kimberly Munro (PhD 2018) on being awarded an Association of American University Women () Postdoctoral Research Leave Fellowship for the academic year 2025-2026.
The AAUW award will provide Kimberly, who is currently holding a tenure-track position in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology at New Mexico Highlands University, crucial time off from her teaching duties to pursue her archaeological research in Peru and publication agenda.
The fellowship is a wonderful opportunity to advance Kimberly鈥檚 research interests in the anthropology of pilgrimage, shamanism, and religious syncretism and the creation and re-imagining of space, place and sacred landscapes.
For the last decade, Kimberly has been doing fieldwork in the Cosma community in the highland region of the Nepe帽a Valley, north-central Peru, where her team and collaborators have documented human occupations going back more than 5,000 years ago.
