NEWS: Request for recommendations for ASPP Publication Committee members

As you may know, the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences offers a program dedicated to funding scholarly books in Canada —the Scholarly Book Awards (ASPP). Each year, this program provides 180 Publication Grants, each valued at $8,000.

 

At the heart of this program is our Publications Committee, composed of established scholars who evaluate applications and make informed funding recommendations based on each work’s potential contribution to the field. The members of the Publications Committee will have the chance to see a wide variety of cutting-edge research in their discipline.

 

We are seeking Committee members who are proficient in English, French, or both, and who have authored at least one scholarly book in their area of expertise. This is a volunteer position with a term of office of three years, for up to two terms.

 

We would greatly appreciate your help in recommending suitable candidates for the Publications Committee and sharing this opportunity with your members. We would be grateful if you could share the names and contact information of those who are interested with us or forward them this email. Alternatively, they can fill out the survey and we will contact them directly.
