Eric Plemons Receives NEH Public Scholars Grant Award

A man with a bald head, full beard, and blue eyes—possibly Eric Plemons—is wearing a blue patterned shirt and dark jacket, looking at the camera indoors. He appears accomplished, perhaps linked to an award like the NEH Public Scholars Grant.

Eric Plemons alumni fellow (2012-15) and associate professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona-Tucson named one of the 2022-23 Public Scholars by the National Endowment for the Humanities. This award supports Eric’s ongoing research on the ethics and history of how transgender medical procedures have supported more traditional reproduction and organ transplant technologies. His forthcoming book is tentatively entitled “What to Make of Me: The Transgender Body as a Valuable Resource.” Congratulations, Eric! Learn more about Eric’s research.
