The American Association of University Women<\/a> (AAUW<\/abbr>) awarded a 2015\u201316 American Fellowship to Rachel Hoerman<\/strong>. She is a doctoral candidate in the anthropology department<\/a> in the College of Social Sciences<\/a> at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

American Fellowships, AAUW<\/abbr>’s oldest and largest funding program, date back to 1888 and support women scholars who are completing doctoral dissertations, conducting postdoctoral research, or finishing research for publication.<\/p>\n

“The 2015–16 American Fellowship is an immense honor for which I am extremely grateful,” said Hoerman. “The Fellowship will enable the completion of my PhD<\/abbr> analysis and thesis over the course of the next year and support Southeast Asian archaeological research and heritage conservation initiatives.”<\/p>\n

More on Rachel Hoerman<\/h2>\n

Hoerman studies archaeological evidence for ancient human creative behavior through space and time using rock art (the human modification or marking of naturally-occurring, fixed-in-place stone). Her dissertation research focuses on the discovery, documentation, analysis and long-term conservation of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo’s rock art. Her goal is a scientific career blending the long-term protection of world archaeological heritage with the dissemination of empirical, fact-based information about our species, while supporting women’s rights and gender equality domestically and abroad.<\/p>\n

“These awards have a long history of expanding opportunities for women scholars,” said Gloria Blackwell, AAUW<\/abbr> vice president of fellowships, grants, and global programs. “The AAUW<\/abbr> American Fellowship is unique because its funding allows women to cover living and child care expenses. This empowers women to complete their graduate studies when they otherwise may not have the opportunity.”<\/p>\n
