Calls for Nominations and Submissions for Travel Awards:
Elizabeth G. Cohen Distinguished Career in Applied Sociology of Education Award
Every
two years, the Sociology of Education SIG selects a senior scholar to
receive this award, in recognition of a research career that is an
exemplar of how to successfully bring rigorous research to bear on
solutions to problems in practical settings. This award recognizes our
exceptional colleagues who go above and beyond the call of academic
duty, making their work accessible, relevant and effective for
application to our most pressing educational problems. Past award
winners include: James Rosenbaum; Roslyn Arlin Mickelson; Russell
Rumberger; Barbara Schneider; Joyce L. Epstein; and Hugh “Bud” Mehan. To
nominate a colleague, please send along the nominee’s CV and a 1-2 page
letter explaining why she/he is a good candidate for this award. Send
all nominations by January 15, 2021 to: Aaron Pallas at amp155@tc.columbia.edu
The Maureen Hallinan Graduate Student Paper Award
This
award shall be presented to a graduate student or junior faculty person
(in the case that the paper was written as a graduate student and
published subsequently) whose research shows exceptional promise and
will likely influence the field over the course of his/her career.
Anyone may nominate a paper; self-nominations are permissible. The paper
must be included with the nomination, as well as a cover letter making
the case for the paper’s merits. The award carries with it a $500 cash
award in addition to a lovely plaque; the cash award is courtesy of the
Department of Sociology and the Center for Research on Educational
Opportunity at the University of Notre Dame. The awards will be
presented at our business meeting at AERA. Nominations are due
January 15, 2021. Please send all nominations to: Brian An at brian-an@uiowa.edu
Sociology of Education SIG-Sponsored Meeting Registration Award (in lieu of Travel Awards for Graduate Students)
I am pleased to invite applications for the Sociology of Education SIG-Sponsored Meeting Registration,
covering the cost of registration for the AERA Virtual Annual Meeting
this April. The meeting registration award is meant to recognize young
scholars who do high-quality work in Sociology of Education. In order to
apply for this award, students must be
presenting a sole or
co-authored paper in one of the SOE SIG sessions (paper or roundtable),
and they must not have other means to support all of their registration
expenses for AERA. Interested students should submit an abstract of the
paper they will present at AERA and any other sources of funding they
have to help offset the cost of registration. Please submit applications
to Anna Katyn Chmielewski (
ak.chmielewski@utoronto.ca) by February 1, 2021.
