Jewish Women’s Archive has named Emily McDonnell to its inaugural cohort of Pomegranate Writing Fellows, a new fellowship for Jewish Women of Color.
McDonnell is a fourth-year PhD candidate at UNC Chapel Hill, where she researches Indigenous geographies, tourism, and contemporary identity. Originally from Arizona, she is a proud citizen of the Navajo Nation. The former Tucsonan describes herself as a NavaJew and is always looking for new ways to blend her unique identities.
