Professors Kasey Evans and Kelly Wisecup of the Department of English were named the 2021 recipients of The Alumnae of Northwestern University’s Award for Curriculum Innovation. They will create curriculum that will incorporate anti-racist practices in the study of British and American literature.

Along with Harrison Graves and Nina Moon, graduate students in English, they will create modules that expand the content of survey courses in British and American literary traditions in order to challenge traditional conceptions of early American studies.
