THE REPOSITORY — Canton native Kimberle Williams Crenshaw, the Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law at Columbia University, has received the Triennial Award for Lifetime Service to Legal Education and the Legal Profession from the Association of American Law Schools. The award was established in 2006 to recognize career contributions by an outstanding faculty member at a U.S. law school. Crenshaw is a leading scholar of civil rights whose work has centered on critical race theory, race and the law, and feminist legal theory. She also serves as founding director of the Law School’s Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies. Last year, she was awarded the 2021 Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lifetime Achievement Award from the AALS Section on Women in Legal Education and named as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
