We, the undersigned, believe that it is important to publicly acknowledge the work of our colleague, Zillah Eisenstein, who was recently nominated for, but did not receive, the Dana Professorship in the Social Sciences.  

Professor Eisenstein has published 10 books, a number of which are considered classics of political theory. Her writings have been translated into Spanish, Serbo-Croation, Japanese and German.  She has lectured internationally, authored dozens of scholarly articles, received the Victoria Schuck Award by the American Political Science Association and the Eminent Scholar Award of the International Studies Association.  Her pedagogy has influenced several generations of feminist scholars.

We celebrate and embrace her life as a scholar, teacher and member of the Ithaca College community.
