SSS Awards
Charles S. Johnson Award
Nominations are now being solicited for the Charles S. Johnson Award, given by the SSS to an individual in recognition of distinguished scholarly contributions on race and the South. The individual’s contribution may be an exceptional single work, several pieces of work, or a significant career of professional achievement.
This award includes the opportunity for the recipient or others on their behalf to arrange a session at the next annual meeting if appropriate and desired.
Nomination Procedure: Any member of the SSS may submit a nomination but self-nominations are not accepted. The primary nominator should submit a package including several letters endorsing the nomination (the majority of them from current SSS members), the nominee’s curriculum vitae, particular publications and/or other supporting documentation.
Nominations must be submitted by January 15 of each year.
