– Barnard College

Rosalind Rosenberg is this year’s winner of the Emily Gregory Award for Excellence in Teaching. The award, named for Barnard’s first female teacher, is bestowed annually by students on a member of the faculty.

Rosenberg’s popular courses include American Women in the 20th Century, and she holds “Silver Nugget” on her CULPA page. Her book Divided Lives: American Women in the 20th Century was published last spring in a new edition.

It’s also perhaps the most meta-award ever: the third result on a Google search of “Emily Gregory Award” is a biography of Emily Gregory – by Rosenberg! It’s a small, small world.
