Ethnomusicology student Lynne Stillings has been awarded a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship for 2019-2020.  Her project, “Performing Empowerment: Children’s Rights and Musical Participation in Senegal,” will provide a critical examination of the ways that musical performance is being used to introduce concepts of children’s rights to children and youth in Dakar, Senegal.  Lynne previously received a Doctoral Student Research Grant, a Franziska Dorner Fund for Musical Research grant, and a Provost’s Pre-Doctoral Fellowship from the Graduate Center for preliminary summer research in 2015 and 2016.
