WGS Graduate secondary field student Scott Poulson-Bryant received the 2016 BGLTQ Advocacy Award at Office of BGLTQ Student Life’s annual Lavender Graduation.

This award is given annually to “a non-undergraduate member of the Harvard community who has selflessly served the Harvard College BGLTQ community through their academic and/or professional efforts.”

Poulson-Bryant is an American Studies PhD candidate who has been a teaching fellow for Professor Robin Bernstein’s Race, Gender, and Performance course and Professor Michael Bronski’s course Power to the People: Black Power, Radical Feminism, and Gay Liberation, 1955-1975. He is also a BGLTQ Specialty Tutor in Kirkland House. After Commencement he will begin a Provost’s Post-doctoral Fellowship at Duke University, and, in fall 2017, he will assume his appointment as Assistant Professor of English at Fordham University.

Please join us in congratulating the future Dr. Poulson-Bryant on both this accomplishment and his contributions to BGLTQ student life at Harvard!
