Separately, Professor Thonrber has been selected by Dean Hoekstra and the Divisional Deans as a 2025 Walter Channing Cabot Fellow.
The Cabot fellowships are given annually to a select few faculty colleagues in recognition of their outstanding publications and scholarly eminence in the fields of “literature, history or art, as such terms may be liberally interpreted….” for her latest book Gender Justice and Contemporary Asian Literatures.
Heartfelt congratulations to Professor Thornber for receiving these prestigious awards!
