Julie Han - Student Paper prize

Geography Minor, Julie Han, has been awarded a Canadian Association of Geographers – Feminist Intersectional Solidarity Group (CAG-FIGS) Student Paper prize for best undergraduate paper on a topic related to intersectional feminist geographies.  Their paper, entitled, "Spatializations of online misogyny as sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV)" investigates the use of female and queer bodies as sites of contemporary conflict by incels and other online communities as fronts for ethnonational strife under rising wealth inequality and political representation of the Other. This paper was written as part of GEOG 387 (Geography and Gender) in Summer 2019, and their instructor, Jason Young, encouraged them to submit it for consideration for the prize.  Wonderfully, this prize comes with the potential of publication of their paper under the mentorship of a FINS scholar.  Congratulations to Julie.
