In 2020, I received the Lennihan Arts & Sciences Grant provided by the Futures Initiatives at The Graduate Center, CUNY. I originally proposed to present my paper at an international symposium on “Contemporary Stage and Robotics” (originally scheduled to be held in Switzerland), but I changed my plans due to the pandemic and other factors, and instead embarked on a research trip to Europe in August 2021. I attended performances by Jaha Koo at Zürcher Theater Spektakel (Zürich, Switzerland) and by Choy Ka Fai at TanzhausNRW (Düsseldorf, Germany), and had the opportunity to meet the artists and artistic teams. At the Lennihan Grant Showcase, I had a presentation on my research project and how the grant supported my research trip.

Here is the description of the Grant.

Thanks to a generous gift from Curtis Wong, recipient of an honorary degree from the Graduate Center in 2016, the annual competition honors Dr. Lennihan for her extraordinary service on behalf of students and faculty at the Graduate Center. Funding to the following students has been awarded for research related to scholarship at the intersections of humanities, arts, science, and technology.
