2009 OAH EBSCOhost AMERICA: HISTORY AND LIFE AWARD |
||
| The EBSCOhost America: History and Life Award is a biennial award given to recognize and encourage scholarship in American history in the journal literature advancing new perspectives on accepted interpretations or previously unconsidered topics. The award is not confined to any particular subject area or chronological period but instead seeks to recognize journal articles that display a pathbreaking character, articles that do not simply elaborate previous interpretations but that propose new perspectives or examine new areas and in so doing extend historical knowledge and raise new avenues of investigation. In seeking to recognize such pivotal articles, the award acknowledges their creative achievement in breaking the constraints of conventional thinking in their approach to historical sources. Individuals as well as editors are encouraged to submit nominations. Each entry must be published during the period November 16, 2006 through November 15, 2008. One copy of each entry must be received by each member of the award committee by December 1, 2008. No late submissions will be accepted. The author of the winning article will receive $750. The award will be presented at the 2009 annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians in Seattle, Washington, March 26-29. One copy of each entry, clearly labeled "2009 EBSCOhost America: History and Life Award Entry," must be mailed
