Congratulations to History Professor Jennifer Evans for winning the 2024-2025 Marston LaFrance Research Fellowship! The title of her upcoming lecture will be “How Photography Shaped the Sexual Revolution”.
This is our Faculty’s leading award for research excellence. It was an exceptionally strong field this year with more applicants than usual. So, many congratulations to Jen on this richly deserved recognition of her research and its importance.
About the fellowship
Each year, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences awards the Marston LaFrance Research Fellowship to one of its outstanding faculty members, in order to facilitate the completion of a major research project that requires significant release time. Once the year has completed, the Fellowship winner delivers a lecture on the research they were able to accomplish during their time as the Marston LaFrance Fellow.
The Fellowship was established in 1979 by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in memory of Marston LaFrance, former Professor of English and Dean of Arts at Carleton University. Each year, the recipient presents a seminar or public lecture on some aspect of the research conducted while on the LaFrance Fellowship.
