Christine
Ladd-Franklin Award
List
of Christine Ladd-Franklin Award Winners
The award is named in honor
of Christine Ladd-Franklin (1847-1930), an early scientist
whose career provided a painful example of the way institutional
sexism operated to exclude women from careers in psychology
and the sciences.
The Christine Ladd-Franklin
(CLF) Award is presented annually by the AWP Implementation
Collective (IMPs) to a member who has made significant and
extensive contributions to the AWP. According to award criteria,
“…Such contributions can include service on the Implementation
Collective or as a Conference Coordinator, a Caucus Coordinator,
or special projects contributor. The Individual should have
been a member of AWP for at least five years, and service
should be noted over at least a three-year (not necessarily
continuous) period. The award need not be granted in any
given year if the Implementation Collective deems that there
are no viable candidates. The award is announced at the
annual conference of AWP.”
