6th annual 💥Vcologies Early Career Paper Prize💥! Please share/RT!

If you have a paper that fits the bill, “ecological thinking in the Anglophone world from 1750-1945,” do consider submitting!

Deadline: Jan. 31, 2025
Award: $250

The Vcologies Working Group announces the 2025 Early Career Paper Prize.

The prize recognizes work by rising scholars that exemplifies the Vcologies effort to consider ecological thinking in the Anglophone world from 1750-1945.

Early career scholars working in any field are eligible. Graduate students and contingently employed colleagues are especially encouraged to submit. "Early career" is defined as a scholar of any rank or affiliation who is working toward a PhD, or who has received the PhD in the past three calendar years (2021 or later). PhDs from 2020 are also eligible to apply in cases where parental duties or medical leave have affected research.

The winning paper will be selected according to three criteria: (1) Potential significance for Victorian studies and its relation to the study of ecology, broadly construed; (2) Quality and depth of scholarly research and interpretation; (3) Clarity and effectiveness of presentation.

Papers will be anonymized before being forwarded to three judges.

The prize award is $250
Submission Guidelines

The prize is open to papers of no more than 3,500 words (not including notes, image captions, or references) written by early career scholars.

Please submit papers in MS Word or PDF (with no identifying information on the document itself), along with (as a separate document) a cover sheet stating (1) your name, (2) year of Ph.D. (or year expected), (3) name of your degree-granting institution, (4) title of your essay, and (5) contact information, to Kathleen Frederickson at kfrederickson@ucdavis.edu.
Submission deadline is January 31, 2025.
