This Faculty Scholar award will allow Dr. Yarimar Bonilla of Rutgers University to spend a semester in residence at Harvard University as a faculty fellow at the History Design Studio at the W.E.B. Dubois Institute of African and African American Research where she can also participate in the activities of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science and the Center for Geographic Analysis. This training will allow Dr. Bonilla to develop skills in quantitative research, geospatial analysis, and data visualization in order to develop a new long-term research project with the following goals: (1) to develop a series of indicators of sovereignty that build on both quantitative and qualitative research that will allow us to conceptualize sovereignty in more complex and sophisticated ways; (2) to gather information on these indicators across different societies in order to create an alternative archive of sovereign relationships; (3) to experiment with new modes of data visualization that will better represent sovereignty as partial, fluctuating, and contested. These visualizations will serve as a counter to current cartographies that represent the world through the fixed boundaries of putatively sovereign nations. They will also serve as tools of inquiry about the nature of sovereignty, its patterns, its negotiations, and its shifts over time. The results of this project will have potential implications for public policy regarding international assistance, humanitarianism, and international aid by adding new dimensions to existing criteria for determining measures of political sovereignty, state capacity, and a re-evaluation of the goals of "good governance."

该奖项将允许罗格斯大学的Yarimar Bonilla博士在哈佛大学居住一个学期，作为W.E.B.杜布瓦非洲和非裔美国人研究所历史设计工作室的教员研究员，她还可以参加定量社会科学研究所和地理分析中心的活动。这次培训将使博尼拉博士能够发展定量研究、地理空间分析和数据可视化方面的技能，以便开发一个新的长期研究项目，其目标如下：(1)开发一系列建立在定量和定性研究基础上的主权指标，使我们能够以更复杂和复杂的方式概念化主权；(2)收集不同社会中这些指标的信息，以创建主权关系的替代档案；(3)尝试新的数据可视化模式，更好地将主权表现为局部的、波动的和有争议的。这些可视化图像将作为一种对抗当前通过假定主权国家的固定边界来代表世界的制图方法。它们还将成为探究主权的本质、模式、谈判及其随时间变化的工具。该项目的研究结果将对国际援助、人道主义和国际援助方面的公共政策产生潜在影响，为现有的政治主权、国家能力衡量标准增加新的维度，并对“善治”目标进行重新评估。
