AWARDS, PUBLICATIONS & PRESENTATIONS

Co-Editors Kelly J. Plante and Karenza Sutton-Bennett can guest-lecture in your classroom to introduce your students to the website, to eighteenth-century periodicals, Charlotte Lennox, and the Lady’s Museum. We are looking for beta-testers who are interested in teaching and learning with the Lady’s Museum. As this is a community-based website, we are eager for students to gain hands-on experience with the site by participating in our glossing activity. If you are interested in scheduling a guest lecture with us, please contact us. Let us know if you are interested the option for students to obtain potential publication to the site to gain professionalization and experience, by publishing a critical introduction, annotations, or an introductory headnote. Or, pitch another idea. We are happy to discuss your pedagogical needs.

Awards

  • American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) Women’s Caucus Editing and Translation Prize (2023)
    • “These scholars’ digital project of Charlotte Lennox’s Lady’s Museum, published between 1760 and 1761, was among the most important early periodicals in proto-feminist writing.  The project will have a wide reach, its universal design will make these texts available to a full range of readers and scholars, and it is developed by early career scholars who have clear plans and a vision that goes beyond a single publication. The digital Lady’s Museum crosses boundaries between disciplines (art, literature, history, social sciences) and involves scholars of all capacities, from long established academics like Susan Carlile to the unknown undergraduate who will be assigned something on women writers and will come across this accessible forum while doing their online research. Supporting this kind of scholarship and public outreach is crucial to maintaining a continual exploration of women’s contributions to literature and history.” — ASECS Women’s Caucus Prize Committee, 2023
  • British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (BSECS) Postgraduate Conference Award. BSECS (Kelly) (2023)
  • Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (CSECS) D. W. Smith Research Fellowship (2021)
    • “This project benefits from a collaborative team with demonstrable experience in both the digital and pedagogical areas necessary. The site, available through open access, will be valuable resource for scholars, students, and teachers.” — CSECS Awards Committee, 2021
