Women in German Prize for Best Article 2006 Awarded to Katrin Pahl

The winner of the 2006 Best Article Award, which was announced at the 2007 annual conference is Dr. Katrin Pahl, an Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins University, for her article "Transformative Translations: Cyrillizing and Queering," which appeared in Transit 2:1 (2006). Dr. Pahl's article, a witty and sophisticated analysis of the video Copy Me: I want to Travel by Brigitte Kuster, Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz, struck the Prize committee as a well-argued, bold, and innovative piece of feminist scholarship. It raises important issues about gender and science, socialist memory, and fantasies of resistance in postsocialist Europe.
