Professor Emiro Martínez-Osorio was awarded two research fellowships to study the link between cartography, alphabetic writing and indigenous communities in Colonial Spanish America. He received the José Amor y Vázquez Fellowship from the John Carter Brown Library for his project “The Writings of Cacique Diego de Torres: Mestizo Literacies and Indigenous Networks in the Viceroyalty of New Granada,” and the Arthur and Janet Holzheimer Fellowship in the History of Cartography from the Newberry Library for a project titled “The Mapping of New Granada by Cacique Diego de Torres”. The research fellowships will allow professor Martínez-Osorio to complete a critical edition of the writings of Diego de Torres and an academic article about the earliest maps of the provinces of Santafe de Bogotá and Tunja.
