In selecting Kirshner for this award, the faculty committee pointed to the importance of his book, , which won the "Best Authored Book” award from the Society for Research on Adolescence in 2015.��They were also intrigued by his quantitative and qualitative examination of the ways in which having youth participate in community activism strengthens development. In addition, the committee appreciated Kirshner's work as having both scholarly and practical impact, explained Provost Russell Moore in a letter of recognition.
