Here's some wonderful news: our visiting friend and colleague Limor Darash has won the American Ethnologist Society's Prize for the best graduate student article (otherwise known as the Elsie Clews Parsons Prize). The article, which is part of the dissertation Limor has been completing while at Berkeley, is entitled "The Limits of Emergencies and the Time of Event: The Pre-Event Configuration of Biological Threats." The prize will be awarded next week at the AES annual meeting. Many congratulations to Limor.
