Davis, professor of religion, for his book project, Religious Cultures of Early India, up to 700 CE, which describes the development of religious cultures in India, from the earliest evidence to 700 CE, including the interrelated traditions that became Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and Laura Kunreuther, associate professor of anthropology, to support research and writing for her book project, Interpreting the Field, Translating Global Voices: On the Labor of Interpreters in U.N. Field Missions, which studies how U.N. mission interpreters translate trauma across different languages and how such translation affects the interpreters themselves.
