Honoring Excellence: Awards Event - Virtual
An event at the Ƶ with the American Philosophical Society and Phi Beta Kappa
In recognition of America’s 250th anniversary, three of the nation’s oldest honorary societies are partnering for a celebration of excellence and conversation about our shared mission to cultivate knowledge and strengthen the foundations of an informed, democratic society.
Join us online to watch presentations of awards given by the American Philosophical Society (APS), Phi Beta Kappa (PBK), and American Ƶ of Arts and Sciences.
The Ƶ’s Talcott Parsons Prize for contributions to the social sciences will be presented to Claudia Goldin (Harvard University). She is being recognized for distinguished scholarship in uncovering the historical and structural roots of gender inequality in the labor market, illuminating how education, family choices, and social norms have shaped women’s economic roles, and transforming our understanding of work, pay equity, and opportunity over time. The prize announcement is online.
APS will feature Jan Ziolkowski, recipient of the Henry Allen Moe Prize. Ziolkowski is being recognized for his paper, “The Juggler of Notre Dame and the Medievalizing of Modernity.”
PBK’s award recipient is to be announced.
Following the presentations, recipients will join a panel discussion moderated by Ƶ President Laurie Patton around the question: What does cultivating useful knowledge look like in America today?
