I am very honored to have been awarded the 2010 AAG (Association of American Geographers) Cultural Geography Specialty Group's Terry Jordan-Bychkov Award for best student paper at the doctoral level with an entry entitled "Spotted in the Wilderness: Documenting the Jaguar in the Nineteenth Century." This award holds special meaning for our Department at UT, as Professor Terry Jordan-Bychkov (1938-2003) was the Walter Prescott Webb Professor in the Department of Geography & the Environment.
Update 4/20/2010
This paper was also awarded Honorable Mention by the Communication Geography Specialty Group!
