SYLVIA DOMINGUEZ RECEIVES FORD FELLOWSHIP
Sylvia Dominguez (Sociology/SSW PhD 05) has received the Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Diversity Fellowship for Achieving Excellence in College and University Teaching. The Fellowships are given to individuals who have shown superior academic achievement, are committed to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level, show promise of future achievement as scholars and teachers, and are well prepared to use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students. Dominguez has received the fellowship award to finish work on her book, Social Flow: Immigrants and Social Mobility. Based on three years of ethnographic research in two public housing developments in two neighborhoods in Boston, it describes the way in which Latin American immigrant women get ahead. Congratulations Sylvia!
