From the website of the John J. Winkler Memorial Trust: "The winner of the 2020 John J. Winkler Memorial Prize is Alexandra Schultz, a PhD candidate in Classics at Harvard University.  Alexandra's essay is titled 'A Sister’s Song? Female Agency and Community in Sappho’s Brothers Poem.'

The Prize is intended to honor the memory of John J. (“Jack”) Winkler, a classical scholar, teacher, and political activist for radical causes both within and outside the academy, who died of AIDS in 1990 at the age of 46. Jack believed that the profession as a whole discourages young scholars from exploring neglected or disreputable topics, and from applying unconventional or innovative methods to their scholarship. He wished to be remembered by means of an annual Prize that would encourage such efforts."
