The Rothman and Tedder Doctoral Fellowships provide funding for doctoral students to conduct research related to their dissertation. Many of the Fellows traveled to study their research objects on location. When Abigail Lindo, a Ph.D. student in Music and Macarena Deij Prado, a Ph.D. student in Art History, presented jointly on their research to the UF community, audiences experienced how art and music, the past and the present speak to each other across geographic distances and historic periods.
Abigail Lindo (Music), Rothman Doctoral Fellow
“Sensing Azorean Autonomous Identity”
Abigail Lindo is completing an ethnographic research project on contemporary musical culture driven by music festivals on São Miguel, the largest of nine islands in the Portuguese autonomous region of the Azores.
While Abigail Lindo spent the academic year as a Fulbright U.S. Student Fellow in São Miguel, the fellowship funds enabled her to travel to Lisbon, Portugal. There she visited relevant repositories of cultural resources, including one museum and two libraries, where she accessed a wealth of resources, taking pictures and scanning book pages. The Rothman Doctoral Fellowship also made it possible for her to establish contact with potential future research collaborators.
Macarena Deij Prado (Art History), Rothman Doctoral Fellow
“Public Performance and Display in Spanish America 1570-1630”
Macarena Deij Prado studies the 1587 procession of a painting of the Virgin Mary in Colombia. The image traveled hundreds of kilometers between Chiquinquirá and Santafé
de Bogotá.
The Rothman Doctoral Fellowship enabled Macarena Deij Prado to undertake a two-week research trip to Colombia, where she visited archives and museums for her dissertation chapter on the 1587 procession of the painting of the Virgin of Chiquinquirá from the town of the same name to the much-larger city of Tunja. In the archives, she found important maps and other primary source materials for the chapter. In the museums, she viewed paintings of the Virgin. She also visited Villa de Leyva, an important site of the 1580 procession, and the Church of Chiquinquirá, which holds the painting of the Virgin of Chiquinquirá.
