The committee includes Judith Millesen, Charles Finn, and Joe Galaskiewicz (chair).
This prestigious award is sponsored generously by Jossey-Bass publishers. Dissertations defended January 1, 2007-December 31, 2007 are eligible for this award. (NOTE: any dissertations considered by the Committee this past spring for the 2006 award cannot be submitted for reconsideration).

Nominators should send the committee two paper copies of nominated dissertations (printed back-to-back if possible), along with a letter of nomination by a faculty member outlining the distinctive strengths of the work. Email attachments will not be accepted in lieu of paper copies.
Nominations must be postmarked by Saturday, January 26, 2008. (Submissions from outside the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region></st1:place> should be mailed early enough so that we can have them by the beginning of February.)
