CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Editor's Note

Hello, scholars! We have extended the deadline to 1 February 2024. 

The Society for U.S. Intellectual History (S-USIH) will accept submissions for the MIH/S-USIH Graduate Student Conference Paper Prize, for the best paper presented by a graduate student at the 2023 annual meeting in Denver. We are deeply grateful to our prize committee for their service: Brandon R. Byrd, Amy Kohout, and Benjamin E. Park.

All submissions must be based on conference papers delivered by graduate students who — as of the date of their panels — had not yet received the Ph.D. degree. In recognition that some papers are based on longer articles or dissertation chapters, the committee will consider submissions between 2,500 and 10,000 words in length. Conference papers based on previously published materials will not be considered.

The student will receive a prize designation and modest honorarium, and the paper will be shepherded through the publication process at Modern Intellectual History.

If you would like to be considered for this year’s competition, please submit your paper to USIH and it will be made available to committee members: [email protected].

The submission deadline is 31 December 2023. The recipient will be announced in spring 2024.
