Professional Activities

Marie Duggan, Economics, was awarded The Norman Neuerburg Award by the California Mission Studies Association. The award recognizes outstanding contributions towards the study and preservation of California’s missions, presidios, pueblos, and ranchos. The award also serves to encourage and highlight current scholarship. In 2016, Duggan published “With and Without an Empire: Financing for California Missions Before and After 1810” in the Pacific Historical Review. A new essay will be coming out in 2017: “Beyond Slavery: The Institutional Status of Mission Indians” in Franciscans and Indians in Pan-Borderlands Perspective: Adaptation, Negotiation and Resistance.
