Glory Liu Awarded the Henry Allen Moe Prize in Humanities

Glory Liu, of the Department of Government, has been awarded the Henry Allen Moe Prize in Humanities by the American Philosophical Society. 

The Henry Allen Moe prize was established in 1982 by a gift from the widow of Henry Allen Moe to honor the longtime head of the Guggenheim Foundation and president of the American Philosophical Society from 1959 to 1970. It pays particular tribute to his firm commitment to the humanities and those who pursue them.  The Moe Prize is awarded annually to the author of a paper in the humanities or jurisprudence read at a meeting of the Society. Liu received the award  in recognition of her paper “Adam Smith’s America: How a Scottish Philosopher Became an Icon of American Capitalism,” presented at the APS April 2023 Meeting and published in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, Volume 165.
