The Ruth Strang Research Award, presented by NASPA’s Center for Women, recognizes outstanding scholarly contributions to the body of knowledge about womxn and gender in higher education. It honors scholarship demonstrating excellence and advancing understanding of these topics in the academy, rather than supporting a proposed new research project.
Submissions may draw on published or unpublished articles, academic papers, books, monographs, or other scholarly contributions. The Center for Women also welcomes non-traditional scholarship about women and gender. The nomination asks entrants to explain the scholarship’s significance, what is novel or innovative about the research, and its implications for future practice, policy, or research.
