Professor Frances Rosenbluth has been awarded the Lex Hixon ’63 Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Social Sciences.
“Frances Rosenbluth, the Damon Wells Professor of Political Science, your students call you ‘an exemplary discussion leader and lecturer’ who ‘balances scholarly and popular opinion, and stimulates classroom discussions.’ They describe your seminars as ‘full of intense intellectual engagement,’ made possible by your ‘superior teaching ability, vast knowledge, and careful consideration’ of your students’ needs.
Guided by your intelligence, scholarly depth, and humor, your students say they are ‘motivated to respond, think, analyze, discuss, and propose,’ in a classroom that they describe as ‘provocative,’ ‘thoughtful,’ and ‘engaging.’ For showing such care and thought in leading your students, and in recognition of your ‘patience, humor, empathy, and a […] willingness to help, lead, and advise’ them, Yale College is proud to award the Lex Hixon ‘63 Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Social Sciences to you, Frances Rosenbluth.”
