Deadline for submissions: February 1, 2017

By February 1, 2017, please submit the article (page proofs acceptable), a copy of the table of contents of the issue in which it appeared, and the author’s email address to:

We strongly encourage electronic submissions (preferably PDFs).  But if you’d rather send photocopies, please send one copy to each of the following committee members:

The Dorothy Ross Prize is named in honor of Dorothy Ross, a pioneering historian of psychology and the origins of modern social science, and a prominent voice in diversifying our field.  Currently the Arthur O. Lovejoy Professor Emerita of History at Johns Hopkins University, Ross takes special interest in working with emerging scholars, so the award aligns nicely with one of her primary interests.  Along with several other professional positions, Ross currently sits on S-USIH’s Board of Advisors.
