Brodsky Oral History Award based on her capstone project, which included a short video that makes tangible the theoretical concept of postmemory. Using testimony from an Armenian Genocide survivor and his daughter, her project explored the transmission of memory, inherited trauma and the convergence of personal and transgenerational memory.
