History of Education Society
2009 Book Award Announcement

 

The History of Education Society annually reviews nominees for an Outstanding Book Award.  This award of $1000 is made to the author of the best book published in the preceding year.  The award for books bearing a 2008 copyright date will be announced at the annual meeting of the society in the fall of 2009.

 

The History of Education Society is an international scholarly association that encourages and facilitates research in the history of education; encourages cooperation among specialists in the history of education; and promotes the value of historical perspectives in the making of educational policy.  The Society also publishes The History of Education Quarterly.

 

Nominations for the Outstanding Book Award are welcome for works from a broad range of disciplines.  Such works may address any aspect of the history of education, both formal and informal, whether in the U.S. or abroad, including the history of childhood, youth, and the family.  Nominations are limited to works bearing a copyright date of 2008.  (In exceptional cases, books with a 2007 copyright may be considered, provided they were not nominated last year). 

Publishers who plan to submit a book (or books) should notify the award committee chair, Bethany Rogers (rogersb@mail.csi.cuny.edu), at their soonest convenience.  In order to be considered, review copies must be received by all three members of the committee at the addresses listed below no later than May 15, 2009.
