Dorinne Kondo

Dorinne Kondo, professor of American studies and ethnicity and anthropology, has been awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) fellowship supporting her book project The Art of Vulnerability: Sexual and Racial Violence, Disability, and Asian/American Performance. The highly competitive fellowship — NEH funded just 7% of the applications it received — supports Kondo’s exploration of pressing social issues through the book, which will examine the intersections of race, disability and performance, advancing conversations on vulnerability and justice.
