The project that she is being awarded for is: "Governmentality and Social Capital in Tribal/Federal Relations Regarding Heritage Consultation" She will be headed for the White House this spring to receive the award. I'm both thrilled both for Dr. Cowie, and also that the White House acknowledges the incredible importance of her research!
