Greetings
all -
SIGCIS
is happy to announce the inaugural call for submissions for the Mahoney Prize,
a new article prize in the history of computing and information technology,
broadly conceived. The following call for submissions is posted on our
website at http://www.sigcis.org/mahoneyprize. Please share
this announcement widely! The information below is also available from
the SIGCIS website at http://www.sigcis.org/mahoneyprize, where you can find

The
Mahoney Prize recognizes an outstanding article in the history of computing and
information technology, broadly conceived. The Mahoney Prize commemorates the
late Princeton scholar Michael S. Mahoney, whose profound contributions to the history
of computing came from his many articles and book chapters. The prize consists
of a $500 award and a certificate. For the inaugural 2015 prize, articles
published in the preceding three years (2012, 2013, and 2014) are eligible for
nomination. The Mahoney Prize is awarded by the Special Interest Group in
Computers, Information, and Society (SIGCIS) and is presented during the annual
meeting of our parent group, the Society for the History of Technology.
The
deadline for submission (electronic submissions preferred) to all three Prize
Committee members is April 15, 2015. For more information, please
contact the 2015 Mahoney Prize Committee Chair Prof. Jennifer Light, jslight@mit.edu.
