Batt is the Alice Hanson Cook Professor of Women and Work. Her research focuses on comparative international studies of management and employment relations.

At the same event, Rebecca Kolins Givan, ILR assistant professor of collective bargaining, received the John T. Dunlop Outstanding Scholar Award for her research. Two ILR graduates, Ariel Avgar, Ph.D. '08, and Maite Tapia, Ph.D. '12, were named co-winners of the Susan C. Eaton Scholar-Practitioner Grant.

Scholars are chosen from disciplines including industrial relations, labor law, economics, human resources, business, sociology, political science and organizational behavior.

ILR's Francine D. Blau, the Frances Perkins Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations and Labor Economics, was an inaugural winner of the honor in 2009.
