The award was granted at our 2020 Conference in New Mexico. Dr. Dawn Work-MaKinne, Chair of the Kore Committee, says in her letter to Dr. Mody:
The ASWM 2020 Kore Award Committee is proud and honored to name you the winner of the 2020 Award for Best Dissertation in Women and Mythology. Your dissertation, “Claiming Voice, Vitality, and Authority in Post-Secular South Asian Borderlands” is especially recognized for its daring work in methodology, vision and scope. The importance of decolonization in scholarship is vital, and your bringing that to the foreground is both bold and necessary. As a reader, I felt challenged and opened by the work, and wanted to apply what I was learning to my own scholarship. Your beautiful writing is a joy to read.
Dr. Mody leads a Scholar Salon, “Feminism on the Borderlands: Reclaiming Our Relationships with Modernity, Secularization, and Our Shadow Spaces.” in the member-only section of our website.
