Carmin Wong and Gabriel Pulido
Carmin, along with higher education graduate student Gabriel Pulido, was also awarded multiple university sponsorships to support her and Gabriel's digital interdisciplinary archival project, TRACING: Black Women's Poetry from 1895 to the Present. This project invites contemporary Black women poets to engage with and (re)interpret the writings of late 19th- and early 20th-century Black women poets to illuminate the voices of Black women writers often underrepresented or overshadowed in history. By upholding the lives, legacies, and interiority of these Black women poets, TRACING positions oral poetry within literary studies and gives space to Black women whose intellectual and artistic contributions and/or personal identities have not historically been recognized in academic discourse. Congratulations, Carmin and Gabriel!
