Gabiam Awarded 2014 Woodrow Wilson
Career Enhancement Fellowship for Junior Faculty
 Nell Gabiam, assistant professor of anthropology, has been awarded a Woodrow Wilson Early Career Fellowship for Junior Faculty. The AAU-recognized award will fund the revision of her book manuscript, "In Order Not to Forget: Development and the Politics of Suffering in Syria's Palestinian Refugee Camps."
This work examines how the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) encourages Palestinian refugees in Syria to reexamine their suffering and victim hood that has become significant in their political claims by inviting and acknowledging the discussion of development (as opposed to that of humanitarian relief).
"By focusing on the shifting politics of international aid and on the intersection of humanitarian relief and sustainable development within the space of the Palestinian refugee camp, my manuscript captures two processes that are in tension with each other: a politics of suffering whereby suffering acts as a mechanism for attaining political rights and legitimacy, and a politics of citizenship that is constructed around the notion of development as a vehicle for achieving rights to the city," explained Gabiam about her manuscript.
The Woodrow Wilson Career Enhancement Fellowship for Junior Faculty seeks to increase the presence of minority junior facutly and other junior faculty members committed to eradicating racial disparities, breaking down stereotypes and promoting cross-racial understanding in core fields in the arts and sciences. The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation identifies and develops leaders and institutions to meet the nation's critical challenges.
