Pamela L. Cheek, associate provost of student success and professor of French and comparative literary studies at the University of New Mexico, has been awarded the 2022 Lauren Shannon Prize from the Navonic Institute for European Studies, which is housed at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.

The Holberg Prize is one of the most prestigious international awards given to an outstanding researcher in the arts and humanities, the social sciences, law, or theology. She is scheduled to receive the award - worth approximately $705,000 - during a ceremony at the University of Bergen in Norway.

The two winners, who will each receive a $165,000 prize, are Maya Jasanoff, the Coolidge Professor of History at Harvard University, and Carolyn Forché, a professor of English and the director of the Lannan Center for Poetics and Social Practice at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

Danielle Allen was appointed the James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University, effective January 1. This is the highest honor bestowed on a faculty member at Harvard. Currently there are 24 University Professors at Harvard. Five are women.
