The prize recognizes Scanlon’s 50-year teaching career at the university, which made an immense impact on all his students, scholars, fellow colleagues, and researchers, and even many of those who encountered him only briefly.

This year’s keynote lecture will be delivered by May al-Ibrashy, Chair, The Built Environment Collective Principal, Megawra and Coordinator, Athar Lina Initiative, under the title  “From Art History to Conservation to Community Development: Athar Lina Initiative in Historic Cairo.”
