Over the past several years, the Horowitz Foundation has generously supported Bard Graduate Center through initiatives that include a fellowship focusing on an area of American material culture awarded each year to a PhD student, a prize for the best Qualifying Paper on a topic in American art awarded each year to an MA student, and a seminar held each year for the advanced discussion of recent scholarship on New York and American Material Culture.
The 2017 winner was Gary Urton’s Inka History in Knots: Reading Khipus as Primary Sources published by the University of Texas Press.
