The 2018 NCSA (Nineteenth Century Studies Association) Article Prize and Emerging Scholars Award
The 2018 Article Prize:
This prize recognizes excellence in scholarly studies from any discipline on any aspect of the long 19th century. The winner will receive $500, presented at the Annual NCSA Conference in 2018. Entries can be from any discipline and must be published in English or with an English translation; interdisciplinary essays are especially encouraged. Articles that appeared in print in a journal or edited collection between 7/1/16 and 6/30/17 are eligible; if the work appeared within those dates it is also eligible even if the date of publication is noted differently. Send a PDF file or link, including the publication’s name/volume/date, to the committee chair, Dr. Laura White, at lwhite4@unl.edu by July 1, 2017. All submissions will be acknowledged; queries should be addressed to Dr. White at the same address. Further information is available at http://www.ncsaweb.net/Awards-and-Prizes.
The 2018 Emerging Scholars Award:
The work of emerging scholars represents the promise and long-term future of interdisciplinary scholarship in nineteenth century studies. In recognition of the excellent publications of this constituency of emerging scholars, this award recognizes an outstanding article or essay published within six years of the author’s doctorate or other terminal professional degree. Entrants must have less than seven years of experience either in an academic career, or as a post-terminal-degree independent scholar or practicing professional. The winning article will be selected by a committee of nineteenth-century scholars representing diverse disciplines. The winner will receive $500 to be presented at the annual NCSA Conference in 2018. Applicants are encouraged to attend the conference at which the prize will be awarded. Entries can be from any discipline and may focus on any aspect of the long nineteenth 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. Articles that appeared in print in a journal or edited collection between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017 are eligible for the 2018 Emerging Scholar Award; if the date of publication does not fall within that span 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. Send a PDF of electronically published articles/essays to the committee chair, Professor Caroline McCracken-Flesher, at cmf@uwyo.edu by July 1, 2017. Address all questions to Dr. McCracken-Flesher at the same email address. Please note that applicants must verify the date of actual publication for eligibility.
Articles submitted to the NCSA Article Prize competition are ineligible for the Emerging Scholars Award; one entry per scholar is allowed annually.
