Professor of Classics and Africana Studies Shelley Haley was recently named the winner of a 2017 Award for Excellence in Teaching at the College Level, given by the Society for Classical Studies (SCS). The award, recognizing Haley for her devotion to teaching and mentoring, will be presented in January at the plenary session of the SCS annual meeting in Boston.
In her award citation, Haley was acknowledged for challenging her students and colleagues “to see the effects of racism and gender discrimination in the ancient world, in modern scholarship, and in the world around us.”
