Early Career Fellowship Awarded to Danny C. Martinez

Danny C. Martinez, assistant professor of education, has been selected to be a 2014 Concha Delgado Gaitan Presidential Fellow by the Council on Anthropology and Education. This early career fellowship is intended to support professional development and mentoring in the field of educational anthropology.

Only five fellowships are awarded each year, which pairs up early career scholars with senior scholars and comes with a $500 travel award to cover the cost of presenting at the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association.

The selection committee, which chose Martinez from 22 applications, noted the “great potential [of his] work on Black and Latino youths’ linguistic repertoires and explorations of research positionality and research tools.”
