Louisa Lombard was awarded a 2017 Poorvu Family Award for Interdisciplinary Teaching. Established by the Poorvu family to recognize and enhance Yale’s strength in interdisciplinary teaching, the award is made to outstanding untenured faculty members who have demonstrated excellence in teaching in interdisciplinary undergraduate programs. Besides paying tribute to these junior faculty members, the award, in the form of a research fund, allows them to focus during the summer months on research essential to their development as scholars and teachers.
