Katherine Allen Selected as the Recipient of the inaugural Alexis J. Walker Award for
Lifetime Achievement in Feminist Family Studies!
Contributed by: Elizabeth Sharp and Crystal Duncan Lane
On behalf of the Feminism and Family Studies Section and the Alexis J. Walker 2014 Award Committee, we are
delighted to announce that Dr. Katherine Allen has been selected as the recipient of the inaugural Alexis J.
Walker Award for Lifetime Achievement in Feminist Family Studies.
The Alexis J. Walker Award for Lifetime Achievement in Feminist Family Studies
was created to publically recognize and honor Alexiss visionary and sustained
contributions to feminist family studies through recognizing other feminist family
scholars who share the same vision and offer lasting contributions to the field.
Katherine is considered to be the top feminist family scholar and the person
most deserving of an award honoring the powerful legacy of Alexis J. Walker. Working with Alexis, Katherine
was a forerunner in building and sustaining the Feminism & Family Studies Section and nurturing feminist scholars
(of all levels) through her incisive teaching (including numerous prestigious teaching awards), writing (an
impressive record of more than 125 publications), and service (she is thought to be one of the most generous
scholars in the field). Her nominating letters re-affirmed what NCFR members and FFS section members already
know: she is brilliant, incredibly generous, productive, and risk-taking, all of which are anchored in her
unwavering commitment to feminism. She has had tremendous impact on the field and beyond; her efforts
have led to positive change in workplaces, national organizations, laws, attitudes, and countless individual lives.
As one letter writer explained, Katherine Allen is one of a kind, a gem in the field of feminist family studies who
embodies the multiple ways in which feminism has enhanced family studies as an academic discipline, as a
teaching area, as a field of practice, and as a subject that touches personal lives.
Katherines colleagues and students also reflect her legacy:
Anisa Zvonkovic states: We at Virginia Tech are pleased as punch that we have the wonderful, dynamic,
supportive, wise Katherine Allen whom we get to see every day! Im so thankful that the Walker award was
established and so happy with the first awardee being our dear Katherine.
Marilyn Coleman writes: Who but Katherine could possibly be the first winner of this award. Alexis would first
check the data - and "Yes, Katherine has the "chops" to win it!" Congratulations, Katherine, you are more than
deserving.
Kelly Munly states: Katherine Allen has been one of the greatest inspirations to me from the first year of my
doctoral program, a sustaining and motivating force in the challenges of graduate work. Her pedagogy is my
ideal, inspiring her students' intrinsic motivation in critical literature through establishing safe, open environments
for exploration and discussion.
Zhang, Jing writes: "Dr. Katherine Allens passion about research has always encouraged me. I am really
impressed that she has never gotten tired of reading students writings or giving feedback."
Crystal Duncan Lane states: Dr. Allen inspired me as both an undergraduate and doctoral student. Her high
expectations are made possible by her concern and support for us. Her courage and willingness to take risks in
the classroom are a large part of my teaching philosophy. Whenever I am considering taking a risk with my
teaching, I ask Would Katherine do this? and if the answer is yes, then I know it is the right choice.
The Award committee members whole-heartedly agree with your nominators and supporters, who wrote:
Katherine is supremely qualified for this award, which recognizes her lifetime friend, sister, roommate, and
colleague, Alexis Walker. We cannot think of anyone more deserving, or more fitting for this award, than
Katherine Allen.
Award committee members included: Elizabeth Sharp (Chair of Award Committee): Shannon Weaver (Current
Chair of FFS section); Past winner of the award (not Applicable); Verna Ourada (FFS member at large/SNP);
Sally Lloyd (FFS member at large-at least mid-career)
