Marian Mullin Hancock
Teaching Award
This annual award honors teaching excellence in the area of gender studies at the University of Notre Dame. Via this award faculty members are recognized for their essential contributions to the intellectual growth of Notre Dame students and development of the Gender Studies Program through excellent teaching in interdisciplinary courses focused on gender. The award is named for Marian Mullin Hancock (1903-1992), a benefactor of the Gender Studies Program who attended Saint Mary’s Academy and received many honors for her philanthropic work, including the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice medal. 

The Gender Studies Program will accept nominations for the annual award during the month of February. Nominations for this award are accepted from either students or faculty members . A single nomination for a particular faculty member will suffice for a faculty member to be considered. 
Nominations are processed using an  online form

Only members of the Teaching Award Subcommittee and Gender Studies staff will read the nominations unless the person making the nomination grants explicit permission for comments to be forwarded to the nominee. 

The Teaching Award Subcommittee will select the recipient by late March, and the award will be announced at the end of April.
 
Call for Applications:
Gender Studies Internal Scholar-in-Residence
Position Description
The Gender Studies Program invites applications for a competitive one-year Internal Scholar-In-Residence position that grants a tenured Gender Studies faculty member a one- year teaching release—one course per semester—from their home department. During the year of residence, the scholar will teach one course originating in Gender Studies and receive relief from teaching another course in exchange for teaching, mentoring, and/or programming service to Gender Studies. Specific responsibilities will be determined by the scholar’s profile and interests, but may include developing one or more courses in targeted subject areas, teaching one of Gender Studies’ core courses, and/or developing a specific program initiative. To participate fully in the life of the Program, the Scholar-in-Residence is expected to work primarily from the Gender Studies office for the term of their commitment and to be regularly available for meetings with Gender Studies staff, faculty, and students.

Student Spotlight
Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
