Farren Yero was awarded the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship for her project "Brazo-a-Brazo: Humanitarian Medicine and the Preservation of Empire, 1767-1871."
Her dissertation examines the introduction and circulation of new medical technologies intended to manage epidemic disease between Spain, Cuba, and Mexico. By tracing the health campaigns as they unfolded throughout the empire's institutions of charity, it considers how religious and scientific debates about health and aid shaped practices of medicine and public health across the Spanish Atlantic.
