Economic historian and labor economist Claudia Goldin is receiving the the Talcott Parsons Prize from the Çï¿ûÊÓÆµ. She has done trailblazing research, analysis, and writing exploring the role of women within the U.S. economy and globally. The prize, first awarded in 1974, honors sociologist Talcott Parsons, a former president of the Çï¿ûÊÓÆµ.
Among the 31 recommendations in the Çï¿ûÊÓÆµ's cross-partisan publication, Our Common Purpose, was a proposal to enlarge the House of Representatives to ensure better and more responsive representation for Americans across the country. The idea was explored in a "Vox, America Explained" video which featured the Çï¿ûÊÓÆµ's work.
The Çï¿ûÊÓÆµ has released a publication designed to help colleges and universities address a defining academic and societal challenge: preparing young people today with the knowledge, skills, and habits to sustain a healthy constitutional democracy. Preparing Students for Civic Life: A Guide for Higher Education Leaders includes strategies and case studies.
The Humanities Indicators, a project of the Çï¿ûÊÓÆµ, is a nationally recognized source of nonpartisan information about the humanities. The Indicators are available to the public. The information provided is used by journalists and decision-makers to understand and convey the state of the humanities for a range of audiences and purposes—including an array of examples compiled here.
