Cambridge Award
Cambridge University Press Award
International scholars who have had papers or posters accepted for the annual
meeting may compete for this conference paper award. "International Scholars" are
defined as presenters who are non-U.S. citizens and hold an institutional affiliation
and/or principal residence outside the United States. A presenter wishing to
be considered for the award must submit his or her paper (or, for a poster,
the equivalent of a 20-minute paper) and accompanying audio-visual material
to the award committee chair by a deadline set by the chair.
The award will consist of a substantial amount of books, chosen by the winner, from the Cambridge University Press catalog. The award winner will be announced at the Society's annual meeting. All applicants must be members of the Society for American Music.
This paper award is designed for non-students. (International students may submit materials for the Mark Tucker Award.) For consideration at the Little Rock meeting, one electronic copy, and accompanying audio-visual material, should be sent by February 1, 2013 to Elaine Keillor.
Members of the Committee: Elaine Keillor, Chair; Linda Pohly, Graham Wood.
