The History of Education Society awards a prize of $750 biennially to the author of an article judged to be the most distinguished scholarly essay in educational history—broadly defined to cover a wide range of educational and cultural institutions inside and outside the United States, including work on schools and universities, teachers, students, and families—published in any scholarly journal over the previous two-year period (January 2018 to December 2019, inclusive).

The deadline for submissions is May 15, 2020.

Entrants should e-mail a published copy of the article and a one-page vita as separate attachments (in Microsoft Word or as pdf files) to the committee chair, Campbell F. Scribner (cfscrib@umd.edu). Please feel free to write with any other questions, as well!

Winners are encouraged to attend the Society’s annual meeting, where the award will be presented (with a brief synopsis of the article) at the banquet.
