Most recently, Ghodsee won the 2011 William A. Douglass Prize in Europeanist Anthropology, given each year by the Society for the Anthropology of Europe.
In 2010, she was awarded the Association for Women in Slavic Studies' Barbara Heldt Prize for Best Book in Slavic/Eurasian/East European Women’s Studies. "Ghodsee's ethnographic study offers a subtle and fascinating analysis of the rise of "orthodox" Islam in the Rhodope mountains of Bulgaria," the Association said of her work.
