I'm deeply honored to have received the Founder's Prize for the best article of the year in Social Science History. It's especially meaningful because SSHA has been such a generative and welcoming community for me as the co-chair of the Historical Geography and HGIS network.
Carolyn Swope received the Founder's Prize for her article “The Spatial Configuration of Segregation, Elite Fears of Disease, and Housing Reform in Washington, D.C.’s Inhabited Alleys” published in SSH 48(2). shorturl.at/eVz4A Congratulations! #sociology #history #segregation #housing #epidemiology
