2006 Zirin Prize -- Call for Nominations

[Martha Kuchar]

The Association for Women in Slavic Studies announces its annual 
competition for the Zirin Prize. This prize of $500 is named for Mary 
Zirin, the founder of Women East-West. Working as an independent scholar, 
Zirin produced and encouraged many of the fundamental works in Slavic 
Women’s Studies. The Zirin Prize aims to recognize the achievements of 
independent scholars and to encourage their continued scholarship and 
service in work that is pertinent to the field of Slavic Women’s studies. 

The Zirin Prize Committee will accept nominations, including self-
nominations, for the award until November 3, 2006. Nominations should 
include the nominee’s CV and a two-page, double-spaced narrative outlining 
the nominee’s achievements. Describe the nominee’s past and present 
contributions and relevant work in progress.

The committee urges the nomination of candidates at all career stages. For 
the purpose of this award, an independent scholar is defined as a scholar 
(1) who is not employed at an institution of higher learning, or (2) who 
may be employed by a university or college but who is not eligible to 
compete for institutional support for research (for example, those teaching 
under short-term contracts or working in administrative posts). We urge 
nominations of worthy scholars from the CIS and from Central and Eastern 
Europe. 

Nominations should be sent to Martha Kuchar at kuchar at roanoke.edu, or via 
mail to Martha Kuchar, Dept. of English, Roanoke College, 221 College Lane, 
Salem, VA 24153 (phone: 540-375-2320).
