Additional Forthcoming Awards
In addition to the Emerging Scholars Award, the INCSA Prize Committee is in the process of creating four different prizes, to be awarded on a biennial basis in the near future. The prizes will be based on four broadly defined categories considered to be ‘core’ to our aims and objectives: connection, collaboration, innovation, and publication. These prizes seek to recognize communities of academics that have enhanced our understanding of the long nineteenth century in ways that are relevant today. Please stay tuned for further updates.
