Christine
Ladd Franklin Award
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. Although Ladd-Franklin completed the work
for a Ph.D. in mathematics and logic at Johns Hopkins
University in 1882, the university would not confer
the degree because she was a woman. Ladd-Franklin continued
her experimental work, without the benefits of the terminal
degree or official institutional recognition, and made
several important contributions to the literature on
vision. In 1926, forty-four years later, Johns Hopkins
did award her the Ph.D. for the work she completed in
1882. (Biography based on information from Sheehy, N.,
Chapman, A. J., & Conroy, W. [Eds.]. [1997]. Biographical
dictionary of psychology. NY: Routledge.
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.”
