ASA AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN THE REPORTING OF SOCIAL ISSUES The Award for Excellence in the Reporting of Social Issues honors individuals for their promotion of sociological findings and a broader vision of sociology. The ASA would like to recognize the contributions of those who have been especially effective in disseminating sociological perspectives and research. The ASA is cognizant of the fact that there are many professionals (e.g., journalists, filmmakers) whose job it is to translate and interpret a wide range of information, including sociological perspectives and research, for the general public. This award is intended to promote a broader vision of sociology, and to gain public support for the sociological discipline. A nominee must have made noteworthy contributions through any medium of public communication to increase the understanding of sociology. He or she cannot be a professional sociologist and membership in ASA is therefore not required. Nominations should include an account of the nominee’s major contributions to furthering the public appreciation of sociology; examples (e.g., video, printed matter) may be included with the nomination. Send nominating letters to: American Sociological Association, c/o Governance, 1307 New York Avenue, NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20005; (202) 383-9005; fax: (202) 638-0882; e-mail governance@asanet.org. The deadline for nominations for the 2005 Award is April 1, 2005.

These contributions may include preparation of teaching- and curriculum-related materials and publications, participation in the scholarship of teaching and learning, development and communication of innovative teaching techniques, leadership in teaching-related workshops and symposia, involvement in innovative program development, and contributions to the enhancement of teaching within state, regional, or national associations. The award typically is given for a series of contributions spanning several years or an entire career, although it may recognize a single project of exceptional impact.
