NCSA Emerging Scholars Award, 2018

The Nineteenth-Century Studies Association (NCSA) is pleased to announce 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.

Eligibility

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.

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.

Award
- The winning article will be selected by a committee of nineteenth-century scholars representing diverse disciplines;
- The winner will receive USD 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.
