Cecelia Schneider Awarded a Watson!
Cecelia Schneider was awarded a Watson Fellowship on March 14, 2025, one of 37 Watsons awarded. Cecelia's project and abstract are below.
- Culturally
Influenced Communication About Sexuality
New Zealand, Sweden, México, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Nepal
Conceptions of
sexuality are socially mediated by communication, which impacts the way sexual
information is made available to communities. How do attitudes towards sex
evolve in different cultural contexts? What role do cultural norms around
sexuality play in facilitating or hindering access to information and
resources? How do sexual health organizations navigate these challenges to
deliver resources to communities through sensitive communication? Collaborating
with sexual health professionals, educators, activists, researchers, and
grassroots leaders in New Zealand, Sweden, México, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Nepal
will enrich my understanding of communication as a crucial element in the
distribution of sexual resources and knowledge.
Watson Award Increases
The Watson award has increased $4,000 to be $40,000 ($50,000 for those traveling with a dependent).
