Congratulations Brian Michael Murphy @WilliamsCollege and WE THE DEAD: Preserving Data at the End of the World, winner of the @NewEnglandASA Lois P. Rudnick Award 🎉🎉
Murphy's book excavates - at times, quite literally - the digital world of data preservation beneath our feet and in our archives, mountains, and even abandoned malls. We are thrilled to award this piece of important, cutting edge scholarship.

The committee truly believes that both Murphy and Robles's projects, in which they utilize an American Studies training alongside that of biology or engineering, blow the current field wide open. They serve as great models of the possibilities of interdisciplinary work!

Doane-Ngyuen's paper highlighted how American newspapers reported on the Philippine-American War of 1899-1902 and how this reportage shaped American views of empire, the Philippines, and Filipino people. Congrats, Ryan Doane-Ngyuen!
