Danika Kleiber has just been awarded a prestigious Kathryn Fuller Doctoral Fellowship from WWF USA.
These highly competitive grants are intended to advance conservation through science. They support research expenses for PhD students working on issues of exceptional importance and relevance to conservation efforts in a marine WWF-US priority place. Danika’s fellowship is worth US$20K. More details here: http://www.worldwildlife.org/science/fellowships/fuller/doctoralfund.html.
Danika will apply her Fellowship to her important and innovative work on how women affect MPAs. She will be looking at issues such as:
- women’s fishing and how it relates to men’s fishing,
- gender roles in MPA decision making,
- how MPAs affect fishing, by gender, and (iv) ensuing gender relationships.
Many congratulations to Danika!
