Awards Feminist Lecturer

Feminist Lecturer Award

History and Overview

The SWS Distinguished Lectureship was founded in 1985 as a way of recognizing members whose scholarship employs a feminist perspective, and of making this feminist scholar available to campuses that are isolated, rural, located away from major metropolitan areas, bereft of the resources needed to invite guest speakers, and/or characterized by hostility to feminist scholarship. A key goal of the program is to provide a feminist voice on campuses where such a perspective is unusual and/or unwelcome.

The lecturer will receive an honorarium of $1000, and must commit to presenting his/her lecture at the summer SWS meeting and on two US campuses that meet the above noted criteria. A written version of the lecture will be published in Gender & Society.

The Lectureship originally carried the name of Cheryl Allyn Miller, but now there is a separate Cheryl Allyn Miller Award.
