The Women's and Gender Studies Program is delighted to announce that Professor Abla Hasan (Associate Professor of Practice in Modern Languages and Literatures and WGS Program Faculty) has received the inaugural Women's and Gender Justice Award for 2023.
This award is the product of the generosity of Helen Moore (Professor Emeritus of Sociology, WGS Program Faculty, and past WGS Director), who established two new awards to recognize faculty work toward social justice: the Women’s and Gender Justice Award (for WGS) and the Racial and Indigenous Justice Award (for the Institute for Ethnic Studies). The Women’s and Gender Justice award, given annually, will recognize a WGS faculty member (core faculty or program faculty, tenure-line or PoP) at the assistant or associate level, who has contributed significantly to their field of study or the broader community through service or leadership to advance justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. This award provides $500 to the awardee in the spring and an additional $1,000 for summer research or community work. We are so grateful to Helen for her generous support, which will recognize and celebrate the incredible work our faculty do to advance gender equity and justice.
