Gabrielle Hecht

The awards recognize publishers who produce books, journals, and digital products of extraordinary merit that make a significant contribution to a field of study

The Guggenheim Fellowship is awarded to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts and exhibit great promise for their future endeavors.

With the support of a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship, Gabrielle Hecht will research and write a new book about the mineral riches humans have turned the world inside out to unearth.

Since its creation in the summer of 2020, the Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Task Force has been addressing the ways in which systemic racism manifests at Stanford, at FSI and in the study of global affairs. Task Force Chair Gabrielle Hecht discusses the group's work.

Commentary

Every year, humans move more earth and rock than rivers, wind, rain and all other planetary forces combined. And the quantity of rock moved by Anglo American in its century-plus of metal mining completely overwhelms that displaced by a migrant scraping the walls of abandoned mine shafts. But the difference is not just a matter of magnitude.

A helicopter scan for radioactivity at SF’s former bases had limited value. The city relied on it anyway, using what Gabrielle Hecht calls “a classic playbook around issues of toxicity, radiation and contamination,” which invokes a study that isn’t designed to find the contamination, then uses it to say that there is no contamination.

Commentary

Three inter-related reasons why nuclear power cannot address our planetary crisis: time, money, and risk.
