2022 Forum for History of Human Science (FHHS) Early Career and Dissertation Awards

[Michael RW Dawson]

The Forum for History of Human Science (FHHS) and the Journal of the History of the Behavioral Science (JHBS) encourage researchers in their early careers to submit unpublished manuscripts for the annual John C. Burnham Early Career Award, named in honor of this prominent historian of the human sciences and past-editor of JHBS. The publisher provides the author of the paper an honorarium of US $500 at the time the manuscript is accepted for publication by JHBS.

 The Forum for History of Human Science awards a biennial prize of US $250 for the best recent doctoral dissertation on some aspect of the history of the human sciences. The competition takes place during even-numbered years. The winner of the prize is announced at the annual History of Science Society meeting.

 Entries are encouraged from authors in any discipline, as long as the work is related to the history of the human sciences, broadly construed. To be eligible, the dissertation must be in English and have been formally filed within the three years previous to the year of the award. 

 The submission deadline for both the Burnham Early Career Award and the FHHS Dissertation Prize will be June 15, 2022. For more information, including submission guidelines, please see: http://fhhs.org/awards/
