This award recognizes the collective body of a person’s work as it relates to the sociology of the family (not a single publication).

Please send letters of nomination (no longer than one page) and the nominee’s CV to Kei Nomaguchi (knomagu@BGSU.Edu) by March 13, 2020.

The Family Section Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Award
This award was established in 1995.

​Deadline: 3/13/2020
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 13, 2020 to Kelly Raley (kelly.raley@austin.utexas.edu).
​
There are two ways to nominate a paper:
  1. Post the paper on any non-profit open repository or public website, and email a link for the paper to the chair.
  2. Send an electronic copy of the paper directly to the chair (Kelly Raley kelly.raley@austin.utexas.edu).
The method of submission will not affect the committee’s evaluation of the paper for the award.
