[2] NCSA 2016 Article Prize

[1] NCSA 2016 Emerging Scholar Award
The Nineteenth Century Studies Association (NCSA) is pleased to
announce the 2016 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 will be given to 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); they 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 January 1, 2014 and December
31, 2014 (even if the citation date of the journal is different) are
eligible for the 2016 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 Lincoln, Nebraska, April 13-16, 2016. Prize recipients
need not be members of the NCSA but are encouraged to attend the
conference to receive the award.

Deadline for submission is July 1, 2015.

Send electronic PDF submissions to: Professor JillMarie Murphy, Chair
of the Emerging Scholars Award murphyj@union.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.
