AHA member George Chauncey (Columbia Univ.) has been awarded the Library of Congress’s John W. Kluge Prize for Achievement in the Study of Humanity. The Kluge Prize is given every two years to “those whose scholarship has resonated both inside and outside academia.” Chauncey is the first scholar of LGBTQ+ studies to receive the award and “intends to collaborate with the library’s historians and curators on its AIDS Memorial Quilt archive collection.”
