Please join the Department of Spanish and Portuguese in congratulating Professor Kata Beilin on receiving a Research Fellowship at the Center for Advanced Studies at the University of Hildesheim, in Germany, for the 2026–27 academic year.
During her fellowship, Professor Beilin will complete her current book project, The Return of the Maya Moment, which explores how contemporary Maya resistance movements draw strength from deeply rooted philosophies of nature and time. Her work continues to advance vital conversations at the intersection of environmental humanities, cultural studies, and Indigenous studies.
We are deeply grateful for all that Professor Beilin does to enhance the visibility and reputation of our department. Please join us in celebrating this well-deserved recognition and wishing her a productive and inspiring fellowship year.
