Nicole Barnes, Assistant Professor of History at Duke University, has been awarded the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize for her recent book, Intimate Communities: Wartime Healthcare and he Birth of Modern China, 1937-1945 (University of California Press, 2018).  This award, administered by the American Historical Association, is awarded every year for “the book in women's history and/or feminist theory that best reflects the high intellectual and scholarly ideals exemplified by the life and work of Joan Kelly (1928–82).”  

“I am especially humbled to have a prize bearing the name of Joan Kelly. As a scholar in women's history and gender studies, I am keenly aware that I wouldn't even be able to do the work that I do had not many brave and brilliant souls blazed the path for us.”  Nicole Barnes
