Christine Folch (Ph.D. ’12, Anthropology) was named a 2021 Andrew Carnegie Fellow, receiving $200,000 for a two-year study of sustainable development in Paraguay.
“I was thrilled to receive the Carnegie fellowship,” said Folch, now an assistant professor in the departments of Cultural Anthropology and Environmental Sciences and Policy at Duke University. “It gave me a way to put together an ambitious project that I’ve been dreaming about and developing for a few years, but would not have otherwise been able to get off the ground.”
