June 30, 2017
Congratulations to Carlos Halaburda on winning the Beiling Wu Prize in Writing for 2017. The Beiling Wu Prize is named for a former Northwestern graduate student in the humanities and is awarded to a doctoral student who wrote the best essay on literature or literary culture in the first year of his/her program.
Carlos is now a 2nd year graduate student, and his doctoral research will examine the ways in which the 19th century Iberoamerican melodrama articulates a critique of the alliance between nation, science and global capitalism.
