COMM Faculty Receive Research & Scholarship Awards (RASA) from UM Graduate School

Professor & Director of Graduate Studies Shawn J. Parry-Giles and assistant professor Sahar Mohamed Khamis are the recipients of 2010 Research & Scholarship Awards (RASA) from the University of Maryland Graduate School.

Parry-Giles was awarded a semester RASA which releases a faculty member from teaching responsibilities during the semester of the award in order to pursue a research project full-time. Parry-Giles will use her RASA in support of her project entitled "Mediating Hillary Rodham Clinton: The News Media as Arbiters of Political Authenticity."

Khamis received a summer RASA to support research on a joint project with COMM assistant professor Meina Liu entitled "When Symbolic Boundaries of Gender, Race, and Ethnicity Intersect: Identity (Re)Construction as a Contested Space for Second-Generation Asian and Arab Female Immigrants."
