UCLA Faculty Win 8 Guggenheim Fellowships

Simon Guggenheim
Below is a listing of the eight Guggenheim Fellowship winners from UCLA this year. According to the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation,

"Guggenheim Fellowships are grants to selected individuals made for a minimum of six months and a maximum of twelve months. Since the purpose of the Guggenheim Fellowship program is to help provide Fellows with blocks of time in which they can work with as much creative freedom as possible, grants are made freely. No special conditions attach to them, and Fellows may spend their grant funds in any manner they deem necessary to their work."*

Forbes notes that UCLA won more such fellowships in the latest round than any other institution:**

Keith L. Camacho, Professor of Asian American Studies

Kamari Clarke, Professor of Anthropology

Priyanga Amarasekare, Professor of Ecology and Evolution

Suhas Diggavi, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
