LAST CALL: Nov. 14 Deadline: Zirin Award for Independent Scholars

[Kuchar, Martha]

LAST CALL: 

The Association for Women in Slavic Studies is accepting nominees for
the 
Zirin prize through November 14.  The Zirin Prize recognizes the
achievements 
of independent scholars and encourages their continued scholarship and
service 
in work that is pertinent to the field of Slavic Women's studies.

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 Committee has extended the nomination deadline until 
November 14. Nominations (including self-nominations) should include a
one- 
to 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).
