  <title><![CDATA[DM PhD Student Terra Gasque awarded SFRA grant]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>We are excited to announce that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAARMyEwBIyAWq6gLA85VL3FcxUQAMgyOAes">Terra Gasque</a>&nbsp;(Digital Media PhD student)&nbsp;has been awarded the Support a New Scholar grant from the Science Fiction Research Association.</p>

<p>Terra is a neuroqueer researcher investigating how the experiences from living outside the &ldquo;norm&rdquo; of society results in queer and neurodivergent individuals creating unique metaphors and storytelling techniques that often differ from traditional narratives. Her current research attempts to expand digital narrative designs to include concepts like Queer Failure so that neuroqueer stories might be understood within and more widely studied by the academic community. To accomplish this Terra synthesizes theoretical elements from Queer Theory, Digital Media, and Science Fiction Studies in addition to<br />
designing and building media experiences across a wide range of technologies and mediums.</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
