Emerging Scholars
The Nineteenth Century Studies Association (NCSA) is
pleased to announce the 2013 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,
2012 and August 31, 2013 (even if the citation date of the journal is
different) are eligible for the 2013 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 Chicago, IL, March 20-22, 2014. Prize recipients need
