Taylor Elizabeth Dysart, a PhD candidate in the Department of History and Sociology of Science, has been awarded a Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant from the National Science Foundation and a Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. These awards will support her archival research and fieldwork in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru in 2023. Her research retraces the twentieth-century history of modern science's entanglements with ayahuasca in the northwestern Amazon, offering a new perspective on histories and ethnographies of "psychedelic" sciences.
