Dr. Kate Liszka, Professor of History, wins the 2025-26 Outstanding Scholarship, Research and Creative Activities Award
Congratulations to Dr. Kate Liszka (CSUSB History) for winning the 2025-26 Outstanding Scholarship, Research and Creative Activities Award!
Dr. Liszka, Benson and Pamela Harer Fellow in Egyptology, empowers her students from the classroom to accompanying them on travels in Egypt. Meanwhile, as this award recognizes, she also excels in her own original research within the field of Egyptology.
"I’m honored to receive this award," Liszka noted. "But this award would not be possible without the dozens of people that I work with who have helped with the Wadi el-Hudi Expedition. I would like to thank all of the members of my Wadi el-Hudi team and also all of my students who have been part of this project."
After receiving her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania, she was a Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow in the Society of Fellows at Princeton University, and then joined the History Department here at CSUSB. In her time here, she has also worked closely with the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art and their extraordinary Egypt collection, hosting prominent visiting scholars from around the world to join the CSUSB faculty to work in the collection and share their expertise in the classroom with CSUSB students.
Dr. Liszka's work exemplifies the way in which scholarship, teaching, and service to the campus and community can overlap everyday. The History Department congratulates Dr. Liszka on winning the 2025-26 Outstanding Scholarship, Research and Creative Activities Award!
