Dan Clawson Activist-Scholar Award Committee
- Erin Hatton, chair
- Deadline: 3/01/2023
- The Labor & Labor Movements Dan Clawson Activist-Scholar Award goes to an individual who demonstrates a long-standing commitment to engaging in scholarship and activism that directly addresses social and economic justice. In addition to a strong record of scholarship, the nominee should actively engage in movements for positive social change and demonstrate some of the core values central to Dan Clawson’s life: collegiality, mentorship, kindness, and generosity.
A letter of nomination (2 pages single-spaced maximum please) should provide an overview of the nominee’s history of scholarship and activism. Activism should be outside of teaching. The letter should discuss how the nominee’s activist and scholarly work embody the values described above and why the individual is deserving of this award.
Nominations can be made by academics and/or activists, but self-nominations will not be accepted. Nominations will be considered for five years.
Nominators should email their letter to the award committee chair, Erin Hatton at eehatton [at] buffalo.edu no later than March 1, 2023.
