Congratulations to Sociology Professor Lora Lempert, who received the Feminist Activism Award for 2009 from the Sociologists for Women in Society (SWS) on August 8 at their annual meeting in San Francisco.
This award recognizes a SWS member who has consistently used sociology to better the lives of women. The individual is honored as an activist, rather than as a function of her place of employment or academic achievements. In addition to the award, Professor Lempert now has the opportunity to travel to two college campuses for a presentation on her approach to social activism.
