Send a one-page justification with your nomination. The nominee's CV is helpful but not necessary. The deadline is March 2, 2013. Please send nominations to Christine Schwartz (cschwart@ssc.wisc.edu). Past Award Recipients 2011 S. Philip Morgan William J.

Award for Best Article This award recognizes a journal article that has made a significant contribution to the field of family sociology. The award committee will accept nominations for articles published in 2010, 2011, or 2012. Nominations may be made by the author or others. To nominate an article, please send a letter of nomination (not to exceed one page) that details the contribution of the article to the field of family sociology, as well as an electronic copy of the article, to the chair of the award committee, Kristen Schultz Lee (kslee4@buffalo.edu). The deadline for nominations is March 2, 2013. Award for Outstanding Graduate Student Paper in the Sociology of the Family Graduate students are invited to submit an article-length paper on the family. The paper should represent a finished product rather than a proposal for future work. The submission can be based on a course paper, a recently published journal article, a manuscript under review at a journal, or a conference presentation. Co-authored papers are acceptable if all authors are students, although the prize will be shared. The paper must have been written when the author was enrolled in a graduate program. The paper may not exceed 30 pages or 11,000 words. Please send an electronic copy of the paper by March 2, 2013 to the chair, Annette Lareau (alareau@sas.upenn.edu). Past Award Recipients 2011: Kim, Hyun Sik (University of Wisconsin), "Consequences of Parental Divorce for Child Development." 2010: Cha, Youngjoo (Cornell University), "Reinforcing Separate Spheres: The Effect of Spousal Overwork on Men's and Women's Employment in Dual-Earner Households." | |
