Congratulations to Anthropology MA student Caroline Stampliaka on taking home the Fernand Braudel Mediterranean Folklore Graduate Student Prize from the American Folklore Society (Mediterranean Section).
Caroline’s winning paper, Embodied Wisdom: Traditional Healing and Vernacular Religion in Evros, Greece is also her undergraduate Honours project. She will present a version of the paper at the upcoming annual meeting of the American Folklore Society in November, and she will also present a brief overview of her work at the annual Mediterranean Section dinner where she will be a guest of honour.
“This recognition holds great significance for me, as it acknowledges the importance of Mediterranean ethnography but also acts a reminder of the importance of amplifying and preserving traditional ecological knowledge systems and cultural heritage as these offer valuable insights into the resilience and adaptability of communities facing various challenges.”
