Jennifer Klein Wins 2014 Hans Sigrist Prize

The Hans Sigrist Foundation at the University of Bern in Switzerland, has awarded the prestigious 2014 Hans Sigrist Prize to Yale Professor Jennifer Klein, for her contribution to the field of “Women and Precarity: Historical Perspectives”.  Professor Klein’s research on the history and development of social security in the U.S.A., as well as her research on the history of care work, brilliantly combines social, economic, political and gender history.
