Crenshaw is a leading scholar in the fields of critical race theory and women's studies, and a law professor at UCLA and Columbia University. As a result of the excellence of her work, Crenshaw was awarded the 2017 Gittler Prize from Brandeis University, which is granted to scholars whose work makes a lasting contribution to racial, ethnic or religious relations. This is the latest of Crenshaw's awards and honors which include a fellowship at Stanford, two professor of the year awards at UCLA, a spot on Ebony's Power 100 and the number one spot on Ms. magazine's feminist heroes of 2015.
