René Champagne has been named the winner of the 2021 Jefferson Caffery Research Award. His paper, “Cajuns, Creoles, and the Impact of Americanization on Ethnic Identity in Louisiana.” examines the evolution of race and ethnicity as a result of factors such as assimilation, and the resulting impact on cultural identity. The almost two dozen sources Champagne relied on for his award-winning paper range from the Louisiana Office of Cultural Development and The New York Times, to the U.S. Census Bureau and the Journal of Anthropological Research.
