The History of Education Society’s Outstanding Book Award
The History of Education Society is pleased to announce this year’s competition for the Society’s Outstanding Book Award. A prize of $1000 is made to the author of the best book published in the preceding year. The award for books bearing a 2010 copyright date will be announced at the annual meeting of the society in the fall of 2011.
The History of Education Society is an international scholarly association that encourages and facilitates research in the history of education; encourages cooperation among specialists in the history of education; and promotes the value of historical perspectives in the making of educational policy. The Society also publishes The History of Education Quarterly.
Nominations for the Outstanding Book Award are welcome for works from a broad range of disciplines. Such works may address any aspect of the history of education, both formal and informal, whether in the United States or abroad, including the history of childhood, youth, and the family. Nominations are limited to works bearing a copyright date of 2010. (In exceptional cases, books with a 2009 copyright may be considered, provided they were not nominated last year).
Publishers who plan to submit a book (or books) should notify the award committee chair, John Rudolph (jlrudolp@wisc.edu) at their soonest convenience.
