NCSA Emerging Scholars Award 2017

Publish Date: May 16, 2016

Deadline: Jul 01, 2016

The Nineteenth Century Studies Association (NCSA) is pleased to announce the 2017 Emerging Scholars Award.

The work of emerging scholars represents the promise and long-term future of interdisciplinary scholarship in 19th-century studies. In recognition of the excellent publications of this constituency of emerging scholars, this award recognizes an outstanding article or essay published within five years of the author's doctorate. Entries can be from any discipline focusing on any aspect of the long 19th century (the French Revolution to World War I), must be published in English or be accompanied by an English translation, and must be by a single author. Submission of essays that are interdisciplinary is especially encouraged.

Eligibility

Entrants must be within five years of having received a doctorate or other terminal professional degree, and must have less than seven years of experience either in an academic career, or as a post-terminal-degree independent scholar or practicing professional. Articles that appeared in print in a journal or edited collection are eligible for the 2017 Emerging Scholar Award; if the date of publication is not between January 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016 but the work appeared between those dates, then it is eligible. Essays published in online, peer-reviewed journals are considered to be "in print" and are thus eligible.

The Winner

The winning article will be selected by a committee of nineteenth-century scholars representing diverse disciplines. Articles submitted to the NCSA Article Prize competition are ineligible for the Emerging Scholars Award. The winner will receive $500 to be presented at the annual NCSA Conference in Charleston, SC, February 2-4, 2017. Prize recipients need not be members of the NCSA but are encouraged to attend the conference to receive the award.

Application

Send a PDF of published articles/essays to the committee chair, Professor Kent A. McConnell, at kmcconnell@exeter.edu. Address all questions to Dr. McConnell at the same email address. Please note that applicants must verify date of actual publication for eligibility.

Deadline for submission is July 1, 2016.
