The Midwest Women's Political Caucus has awarded the 2018 Outstanding Professional Achievement Award to Dara Strolovitch. Professor Strolovitch, Associate Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies and Affiliated Faculty, Department of Politics, is a faculty associate of the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics (CSDP).

This annual award recognizes a senior woman in the discipline who has made a substantial contribution to the scholarship of political science (not necessarily in the field of women and politics), who has made significant contributions to the profession and its associations, who has actively mentored women at her own institution or elsewhere, and who serves as a positive role model for women in the profession. Every year, the Caucus organizes a roundtable in honor of the award recipient at the MPSA conference. The roundtable participants speak to the many contributions of the scholar to the profession and the discipline.

Please join CSDP in extending congratulations to Professor Strolovitch.
