Ciplet wins student award from the American Sociological Association

Fellow(s): David Ciplet

From J Timmons Roberts, Ittleson Professor of Environmental Studies, Professor of Sociology, at Brown University:

I am pleased to announce that Dave Ciplet won the Robert Dentler Award for Outstanding Student Achievement from the American Sociological Association Section on Sociological Practice and Public Sociology.   Dave has made truly remarkable contributions to the field of public sociology and the sociology of practice, making an impact that I think would be the pride of most active full professors. His nomination package included policy briefings, scholarly articles, a description of community work and letters of support from the Environmental Justice League of Rhode Island and the International Institute for Environment and Development for his work with the Least Developed Countries group in the UN climate change negotiations.  These partners in community engaged work at the very local and the global level show the range and depth of Dave’s work and its impact.  Parts of his nomination letter from me and Phil Brown follow.
