The Nineteenth Century Studies Association (NCSA) is pleased to
announce the 2012 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.
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.
Only articles physically published between September 1, 2011 and
August 31, 2012 (even if the citation date of the journal is
different) are eligible for the 2012 Emerging Scholar Award. Articles
published in any scholarly journal, including on-line journals, or in
edited volumes of essays are eligible and may be submitted either by
the author or the publisher of a journal, anthology, or volume
containing independent essays. In any given year, an applicant may
submit more than one article for this award.
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 Fresno, California, March 7-9, 2013. Prize recipients
need not be members of the NCSA but are encouraged to attend the
conference to receive the award.
Deadline for submission is November 15, 2012.
Send three off-prints or photocopies of published articles/essays to
the committee chair: Professor Judith W. Page, Center for Women’s
Studies and Gender Research, PO Box 117352, University of Florida,
Gainesville, FL 32611. (Electronic submissions will not be accepted.)
Address all questions to page7@ufl.edu. Please note that applicants
must verify date of actual publication for eligibility and provide an
email address so that receipt of their submissions may be
acknowledged.
