3 IC students are finalists for a prestigious popular culture prize.
Zoe Merod (Art History ’20) and Eliana Berger (English ’20) are finalists for the Mid-Atlantic Popular & American Culture Association’s Daniel Walden Prize. Senior Sappho Hocker (Cin Photo) also received a special nomination following her presentation “Janelle Monáe: Androids and Intersectionality.”
The Walden prize is given each year to “an outstanding emerging scholar in popular culture” based on the strength of the papers they presented at the annual conference. The award will be announced in 2018 and will be presented at next year’s conference.
The 2017 Daniel Walden Prize for undergraduate research was awarded to Alyssa Rodriguez, an English major who graduated from IC in May 2017.
