It is our honor to announce that Dr. Daniel Levy has been awarded the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities for the 2025–2026 academic year.

This award recognizes consistently outstanding scholarly and creative productivity, including an excellent, sustained record of peer-reviewed publications and national and international scholarly engagement. Daniel’s record more than meets this standard, with highly cited contributions to collective memory, human rights, globalization, and political sociology.

Daniel’s nomination was supported by more than a dozen letters from colleagues around the world. As one noted: “Within the international field of memory studies, there is no one better known, more productive, and more engaged; the contemporary field would simply not be the same without his work.”

Congratulations, Professor Levy!!
