Kudos: Dillard and Giordano receive awards

Cynthia Dillard, the Mary Frances Early Professor of Teacher Education in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice, was recently awarded the 2019 Taylor & Francis Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Foundations of Education from the American Educational Studies Association (AESA).

“I have won a number of awards in my academic career, but receiving the 2019 AESA/Taylor-Francis Lifetime Achievement Award is very special,” Dillard said. “It signifies that my work and spirit as a black feminist scholar has literally fortified the very foundations of the field of education.”

Dillard will deliver a lecture at AESA’s annual conference in Baltimore on Oct. 31 and will be recognized at AESA’s awards ceremony on Nov. 2.
