The annual Joan Aldous Praxis award recognizes Gender Studies undergraduate majors or minors whose work in community-engaged service or activism outside the classroom best exemplifies gender-justice praxis.
The 2020 Joan Aldous Praxis Award has been given to two students: Peyton Davis ’20 (English and Gender Studies) and Anne Jarrett ’20 (Gender Studies and Philosophy). Through internships, service, and the arts, as well as organizing and activist work, both Peyton and Anne have worked tirelessly during the last four years to make their communities — including the University of Notre Dame — more inclusive and just.
