Are you doing environmental sociology? Consider nominating your work (or the work of a colleague) to the ASA Section on Environmental Sociology's 2025 awards. I'm currently serving as Policy & Research Committee Chair for the section and will be chairing two of the award committees.
Environmental Sociology Student Paper Award: The purpose of this award is to recognize an outstanding paper written by a graduate student or group of graduate students. All members of the Section and the ASA are encouraged to submit nominations; self-nominations are also welcome. In addition to recognition, recipients will receive a modest monetary award. Papers do not have to be published or accepted for publication to be considered. They must have been submitted to the ASA annual meeting and/or to a journal by a graduate student(s) at the time the nomination is made. Published papers must have been accepted for publication or published between January 1st, 2024 and December 31st, 2024 and while the author(s) was still a graduate student in order to be considered. Papers co-authored with faculty are ineligible. To nominate a paper, please send a PDF copy of the paper along with a nomination letter that includes information about the paper’s status by April 1st, 2025 to Policy & Research Committee Chair, Caleb Scoville (caleb.scoville@tufts.edu). Please put “Environmental Sociology Student Paper Award” in the subject line. Environmental Sociology Outstanding Publication Award: This is given for publications of special noteworthiness in the field of environmental sociology. It is given in alternate years for either (a) a book in even years or (b) a single article in odd years. This year the committee will consider articles published within the period January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024. To nominate an article, please email a nomination letter by April 1st, 2025 to Policy & Research Committee Chair, Caleb Scoville (caleb.scoville@tufts.edu). Please put “Environmental Sociology Outstanding Publication Award” in the subject line. Distinguished Contribution Award: This award is given annually to recognize individuals for outstanding service, innovation, or publication in environmental sociology. It is intended to be an expression of appreciation, awarded when an individual is deemed extraordinarily meritorious by the Section. All members of the Section are encouraged to submit nominations; self-nominations are welcome. Nominations for this award must be received by April 1st, 2025. To nominate an individual for this award, please send a letter of nomination describing the nominee’s contribution to environmental sociology and/or the sociology of technology, accompanied by a copy of the nominee’s CV, to the chair of the award committee, Debra Davidson, Past-Chair, (debra.davidson@ualberta.ca). Please put “Distinguished Contribution Award Nomination” in the subject line. Robert Boguslaw Award for Technology and Humanism (Bi-yearly): The Robert Boguslaw Award for Technology and Humanism, given in odd years, honors a doctoral student or other young investigator who has obtained a Ph.D. in the past five years. The purpose of the award is to recognize work that investigates the relationship between technology and humanism or otherwise proposes innovative solutions to emerging social issues associated with technology. Unpublished papers or articles published within the period January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024, are eligible. All members of the ASA and Environmental Sociology Section are encouraged to submit nominations; self-nominations are welcome. To submit a nomination, please send the article and a nomination letter by April 1st, 2025 to Joshua Sbicca, Chair-Elect, (J.Sbicca@colostate.edu). Please put “Robert Boguslaw Award for Technology and Humanism Nomination” in the subject line. The Environmental Sociology Practice and Outreach Award (Bi-yearly): This award, given in odd years, honors faculty scholar-activists who demonstrate outstanding practice and outreach contributions that advance equity in the context of socio-environmental relations. All members of the Section are encouraged to submit nominations; self-nominations are welcome. In accordance with ASA policies, the recipient must be a current member of the association at the time the award is given to receive the award. The initial nomination should include a nomination letter (up to 2 pages) describing the practice and outreach contributions of the nominee and the nominee’s CV, and may also include up to three pieces of evidence supporting the nominee’s outstanding service and outreach accomplishments, and other evidence of especially dedicated service to the field (e.g., letter of support, examples of outreach/practice activities, media coverage, etc.). Send this initial nomination packet to Alan Rudy, Teaching, Training, and Practice Committee Chair (rudy1a@cmich.edu) by March 1st, 2025. Please put “Environmental Sociology Practice and Outreach Award Nomination” in the subject line. Preliminary decisions on nominations will be made by the Committee and those selected for further consideration for the award will be asked to submit a revised nomination letter and up to 5 letters of support from any mix of community members/public representatives, colleagues, and/or students by April 15th, 2025 for final consideration for the award.
