I was awarded a 2022 Graduate Summer Research Fellowship from the Divided City: An Andrew W. Mellon-Funded Initiative. This fellowship, issued through the Center for Humanities at Washington University in St. Louis, supports interdisciplinary graduate research centered on how segregation in the broad sense has and continues to play out as a set of spatial practices in cities, neighborhoods, and public spaces.
I will use this fellowship to continue my research on The People's Art Center of St. Louis (1942-1965), a community art space founded via the WPA/FAP with a racially integrated mission.
