"The WGST Graduate Certificate was a major contribution to my scholarship! For my ethnographic fieldwork (2015-2017), I studied the experience of women and gender non-conforming individuals (GNCIs) in the criminal justice system in S茫o Paulo, Brazil through an interdisciplinary approach, building on literatures from anthropology, women and gender studies, and prison studies in the U.S. and in Brazil.聽Taking Dr. Deepti Misri's courses Feminist Theories and Gender, Violence, and Representation provided me with the theoretical and practical tools to carry out this type of research.

"Additionally, Dr. Bayard de Volo's guidance in feminist methodologies gave me with the research tools I needed to conduct multi-sited research with a range of interlocutors across distinct and intersecting, political, gender, race, and class identities. Especially, as I wrote the dissertation, I would often return to what Dr. Bayard de Volo had stressed 鈥� the significance of my subject position, the type of knowledge I brought to issues of gendered violence in a context like Brazil, and that the emotions I'd experience during fieldwork and post-fieldwork were all part of the process of聽knowledge production and not a hindrance as I had initially interpreted.

"I am also superbly grateful to my committee members Dr. Bayard de Volo聽and Dr. Robert Buffington, the care and respect they showed my scholarship and the insightful critiques I received to improve my dissertation's arguments. I was recently awarded "Best Dissertation in the Social Sciences" by the Brazil section of the Latin American聽Studies Association [for her dissertation Women Detained: Justice and Institutional Violence in S茫o Paulo鈥檚 Criminal Justice System]. I聽know I could not have done it without my WGST Graduate Certificate." - Dr. Meryleen Mena (ANTH, WGST '18)
