The applicants were adjudged by their notable contributions and work done during the past 12 months. Commenting on the winners, the global panel of judges said, “Professor Thomas personifies exemplary teaching on diverse topics, she lays the foundation for sociological imagination for students that sparks inquiry and instills rigor through analysis and critical thinking.
