She has been selected as an Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities (IPRH) Fellow for 2016-2017. The theme for the year is “Publics” and we will participate in year-long activities and Fellow Seminars.

Additionally, she is also the recipient of the Lynn M. Martin Award for Distinguished Women Teachers. Named for the founder, the Lynn M.
