Art History Assistant Professor Sonal Khullar recently received a Royalty Research Fund (RRF) grant from the UW Office of Research. That grant supports a book project titled “The Art of Dislocation: Conflict and Collaboration in Contemporary Art from South Asia.” She will be part of the Simpson Center for the Humanities Society of Scholars during the 2011-2012 academic year to foster another book project titled “Worldly Affiliations.” Khullar also is a recipient of a 2011-2012 Collaboration Studio Grant from the Simpson Center, which allows her to develop projects with Assistant Professor Sasha Welland, who holds joint appointments in Anthropology and Women Studies. One of their projects will be development of a new 200-level undergraduate course on “Feminist Art and Visual Culture in Global Perspective.”
