Congratulations to Professor Patricia Williams, recipient of a 2025 Windham-Campbell Prize for Nonfiction, one of the world’s most noteworthy international literary awards. In addition to a citation and award, winners of the prizes — given in fiction, poetry, nonfiction and drama — receive a significant unrestricted grant to support their writing. In her most recent book, The Miracle of the Black Leg, Williams leverages her background as a contracts law scholar and her journalist’s sense of curiosity to explore themes of identity, ethics and race.
