Jessica Marinaccio winner of the European Association of Taiwan Studies' Young Scholar Award
Congratulations to Jessica Marinaccio winner of the European Association of Taiwan Studies' Young Scholar Award, for the outstanding research paper "James Clifford's 'Indigenous Articulations' as Traveling Theory? The Search for Sustainability in Theorizing Taiwan's Indigenous and Han Population."
Jessica is a PhD student in PASI Pacific Studies. Her winning paper discusses the uptake in Taiwan of James Clifford's essay "Indigenous Articulations". Jess situates the essay amidst the Pacific Studies contexts and scholarship that influenced Clifford's thinking, including Clifford's relationships with what he calls his "island-savvy" doctoral supervisees. Among those supervisees were Jess's original primary supervisor, the late Teresia Teaiwa, and her current primary supervisor, April K Henderson.
