The Labor and Labor Movements section gives the Labor and Labor Movements/Critical Sociology Distinguished Student Paper Award annually as an award for the best paper written by a graduate student. Published papers, papers under review, and unpublished article-length manuscripts are eligible. The paper must have been written between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2011, and the author must have been enrolled as a graduate student at the time the paper was written. The winner receives $150 for travel to the ASA annual meeting, plus an additional $250 from Critical Sociology, which is jointly underwriting the award. If the winning paper is an unpublished manuscript, the author will also receive editorial feedback from the award committee and an invitation to submit the paper to Critical Sociology if the author makes the revisions suggested by the Award Committee. All methodological orientations and substantive topics related to labor and/or labor movements are welcome. Section members can nominate articles for the prize. Self-nominations are welcomed. We particularly hope that faculty members of the section will nominate and encourage students to submit promising work.
Nominations must include an electronic copy of the paper and must be received no later than March 31, 2012 by the chair of the awards committee, Ian Robinson at [email protected].
