Suzi Lima - summer grants

Suzi Lima received two very prestigious grants this summer.
The first was from the Lewis and Clark Fund of The American Philosophical Society. This fellowship supported her fieldwork in Brazil, which focused on quantificational processes in Yudja.
The second was from UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and FUNAI (Brazilian Indigenous Peoples Bureau).
UNESCO has hired her as a researcher on a 2 year contract to coordinate the documentation of the Kawaiwete language along with indigenous teachers of the Kawaiwete community. The goals of the project are documenting the language, providing materials for the Kawaiwete communities and teaching the language documentation methodology to the Kawaiwete teachers in these communities. She also started this work during the summer.

Congrats, Suzi!
