Each year the National Women's Studies Association celebrates exemplary scholarship that makes significant contributions to the field of women's, gender, and sexuality studies. Associate Professor Linh Thủy Nguyễn's book, Displacing Kinship: The Intimacies of Intergenerational Trauma in Vietnamese American Cultural Production, was awarded the NWSA's Gloria E. Anzaldúa Book Prize Honorable Mention! Prof. Nguyễn's book was given this award due to her dynamic offering of the theory of "displacing kinship" in their exploration of "how the language of the family, war, and trauma has come to shape and constrain the possibilities for subjectivity, imagination, and relationality for the children of Vietnamese refugees."
