Professor Susanne M. Klausen has won a visiting fellowship to the Netherlands Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) in Amsterdam for ten months, from September 2019 to June 2020. Klausen will use her time as a NIAS Fellow to write the manuscript for her next monograph, tentatively titled Forbidden Desire: The Criminalization of Inter-racial Relationships in Apartheid South Africa. Klausen is extremely proud to win this prestigious award and excited to be moving to Amsterdam next year. She says she is certain that working in an inter-disciplinary intellectual community of fellows from around the world will provide the perfect environment for thinking through a range of questions about experiencing sexual and emotional intimacy in authoritarian white supremacist societies like apartheid South Africa.
