UO Professor Carol Stabile has received the 2013 Ronald T. and Gayla D. Farrar Media and Civil Rights History Award for her article “The Typhoid Marys of the Left: Gender, Race and the Broadcast Blacklist.”

The piece was published in the Summer 2011 issue of “Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies.”

Stabile serves as director of the UO's Center for the Study of Women in Society and is a professor of both the School of Journalism and Communication and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies.

The award recognizes the best journal article or chapter in an edited book on the historical relationship between media and civil rights published during the previous two years.

Stabile will deliver the Farrar Award Lecture on Saturday, March 23, at the Media and Civil Rights History Symposium sponsored by the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of South Carolina.

She will also present her article and research at a special session at the symposium.
