Dr. Mark Ralkowski has won the prestigious Popejoy Dissertation Prize for 2011. Mark's dissertation on "Heidegger's Platonism" competed against all those produced in Humanities and Art/Art History for the past two years. Dissertations nominated by departments were considered by a panel of judges for "excellence at the highest academic and technical level, good literary form, and general human interest." The prize will be presented at spring commencement and includes an award of $1000. This is a well-deserved capstone to a brilliant career at UNM. Mark, we'll miss you!
