WGSRF Outstanding Scholarship Prize Call for Nominations 2015-2016
Nomination Deadline: February 26, 2016

This annual prize, established in 2002 (and previously called the
CWSA/ACÉF Book Prize), acknowledges the important contributions that
Women's and Gender Studies scholars have made to the field in the form
of a monograph, edited collection, or a significant documentary film.
The monograph, edited collection, or significant documentary film must
be published or distributed, in either English or French, between
January 2014 and December 2014.

The award will recognize work produced by Canadian
scholars/filmmakers, work published or produced by Canadian
presses/film production agencies, or work on Canadian topics. In order
to be considered, all nominated authors and filmmakers must be members
of the Association in good standing, during the year of the nomination
and the year in which the prize is granted.

The nominated work must make a significant scholarly contribution to
and expand knowledge and theorizing in the discipline of Women's and
Gender Studies, as determined by a committee of up to five WGSRF
members.


Criteria include: (i) relevance to Women's and/Gender Studies
(ii) currency of the subject matter to current debates and discussions
(iii) quality of style, presentation, research, and methodology
(iv) originality
Nominations are solicited from association members in good standing,
book publishers, and film distributers. Authors may not nominate their
own publications/documentary films, or publications/documentary films
in which they have personal or financial interests.
The winner and any honourable mentions will be announced at the 2016
