The Social Science History Association announces
the annual President's Book Award of $1000
for a new manuscript.
The prize is intended to reward an especially meritorious first work
by a beginning scholar. Entrants will be judged on the criteria
of scholarly significance, interdisciplinary reach, and methodological
innovativeness, within the broad category of monographs analyzing past
structures and events and change over time. SSHA invites studies of
family and demography, popular mentalities, political economy,
state-society relationships, electoral and legislative behavior, and
the history of the social and behavioral sciences; other substantive
realms may also be represented. The Association includes in
consideration theoretically-informed accounts examined from
quantitative, interpretive, and other perspectives.
Manuscripts may be under consideration by a press at the time of
submission to the award committee but a book must NOT be in print
before the prize is awarded (each October/November). A letter from
the press stating that the manuscript would not be published
before October/November will be required.
The deadline for submission is June 1, 1995. A copy of the manuscript
should be sent to EACH member of the committee at the addresses given
below. You may contact the Committee Chair, Fred Carstensen, via
e-mail at CARSTEN@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU with any queries, via
