Awards
September 17, 2009
THE QUEER STUDIES SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP SCHOLAR-ACTIVIST AWARDS PROGRAM aims to strengthen and broaden the links between activism and research as they relate to LGBTTIQ people in education, to the relationships between sexuality/gender and education, and to education-based approaches to challenging heterosexism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression. We are inviting applications from those who offer groundbreaking approaches to working with these linkages and addressing these topics through activist research.
In 2010, we have a new set of awards. We replaced the “Graduate Student Travel Award” by an “Article of the Year Award,” in order to better reflect the composition of our SIG and reward the hard work of current scholars at different stages in their careers.
Submissions will be evaluated for academic rigor, scientific or scholarly significance of the studyor work, and how they support and advance interdisciplinary discourse including queer theory, queerstudents and educators, curriculum and sexuality, and issues of intersectionality.
The 2010 Awards are as follows (details below):
Application and/or nomination materials should be sent electronically to both chairs of the Awards Committee:
Recipients will be notified by email before March 15, 2010.
Scholars who would like to participate in the evaluation of the applications for the Queer Studies SIG Awards should contact the chairs directly.
