Bryan Dougan receives 2017 Diller-Gilligan Summer Research Fellowship. “Thanks to support from The Graduate School, I was able to conduct archival work at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. The data I collected there will form part of the historical basis for my future dissertation project. Additionally, I was able to travel to D.C. and Boston to conduct interviews with scholars for a research project on the emergence and practices of scholars who associate themselves with Global Mental Health. These interviews will help me revise my MA thesis into a scholarly journal article.”
