I've been a very bad blogger lately. Life's been too busy with teaching and other commitments, including trips to Boulder, Denver and, most recently, Syracuse for the Visible Memories conference.
Anyways, I promise to start posting some of the pics I have been taking in the past few weeks.
Meanwhile, I have great news that make me really happy. I have just received a national award for my dissertation!
Here is part of the email I received I got announcing this victory:
"Dear Dr. Gi.,
I am delighted to inform you that your dissertation (“Visions of Europe: The Semiotic Production of Transnational Identity in Contemporary European Visual Discourse”) has been chosen as co-winner of the Critical and Cultural Studies Division’s Outstanding Dissertation Award for 2008.
The Awards’ Committee was very impressed with the theoretical sophistication of your dissertation. As one reviewer put it, “It brilliantly combines cultural studies, semiotics, political economy and international relations theory in its approach to visual communication.” In the words of another reviewer, “Rigorous and engaging to the point where you wonder how she could have accomplished this, but she did.”
Yay! I especially liked the reviewers' comments...I am very very happy to see the fruits of my hard labor recognized in such a gracious manner.
