Call for Nominations: 2007 Zirin Award

[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 1, 2007. Nominations
should include a two-page, double-spaced narrative outlining the
nominee's achievements and the nominee's CV. 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).
