Cover of the book Unsettling Assumptions: Tradition, Gender, Drag
UWinnipeg’s Dr. Pauline Greenhill, professor of Women’s and Gender Studies, was awarded the Elli Köngäs-Maranda Prize’s honorable mention at the 2015 American Folklore Society’s Annual Meeting for her work with Dr. Diane Tye on their edited text Unsettling Assumptions: Tradition, Gender, Drag (Utah State University Press, 2014). The Prize is given each year by the Women’s Section of the American Folklore Society to recognize superior work on women’s traditional, vernacular, or local culture and/or feminist theory and folklore.
“What a great affirmation from my colleagues!’, said Greenhill.
She also launched another book, co-edited with Dr. Jill Terry Rudy, Channeling Wonder: Fairy Tales on Television (Wayne State University Press, 2014), at the same meeting.
Both books were based on research funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and by grants from the UWinnipeg Office of Research.
