Congratulations! BAA Dissertation Prize-Winner, Nicole Schneider

Huge congratulations to one of our associate members, Nicole Schneider, who received this year’s dissertation prize of the Bavarian American Academy. Schneider’s dissertation, “Visual Protest, Viral Images, and Virtual Participation: Protest and Photography in the Contemporary Movement for Black Lives” deals with press photographs of the current #BlackLivesMatter protests in the USA. The work considers the current protests, the socio-political configurations and the historical context, as well as with digital links between activism, photos and narratives.

Well done, Nicole!
