Cheiron 2025 Book Prize Competition

[Larry Stern]

Hi Folks,

 

I am pleased to announce that Cheiron’s Book Prize Committee, comprised of John Carson, Vinny Hevern, Alan Tjeltvelt, and Nadine Weidman, has selected two authors to receive the 2025 Prize: Michael Pettit, for his Governed by Affect: Hot Cognition and the End of Cold War Psychology (Oxford University Press) and William Max Nelson for his Enlightenment Biopolitics: A History of Race, Eugenics, and the Making of Citizens (University of Chicago Press).

 

 After careful review, the members of the Committee were unanimous in their decision that both Dr. Pettit and Dr. Nelson deserved the honor and asked that I send along their heartiest congratulations. Both Dr. Pettit and Dr. Nelson will discuss their work at the upcoming Three Societies’ Meetings in Paris, France.
