2006
Ruth Benedict Prize Competition
Society of Lesbian and Gay Anthropologists
SOLGA is proud to announce the 2006 Ruth Benedict Prize
Competition for outstanding anthropological scholarship on a lesbian,
gay, bisexual, or transgendered topic.
The Ruth Benedict Prize is presented each year at the American Anthropological
Association's annual meeting to acknowledge excellence in a scholarly
book written from an anthropological perspective about a topic that
engages issues and theoretical perspectives relevant to LGBTQ studies.
The Benedict Prize is awarded in each of two separate categories, one
for a single-authored monograph and another for an edited volume. Books
submitted for the competition must have a publication date of 2005 or
2006 and may not have been submitted previously.
Submissions may be on any topic related to lesbians, gay men, bisexuals,
transgendered people, or other gender / sexual formations and categories
from any world culture area. Topics may include the study of normativity,
queer theory, and the social/historical construction of sexual and gender
identities, discourses and categories. Authors may represent any scholarly
discipline, but the material submitted must engage anthropological theories
and methods. Submissions may be self-nominated or may be sent by a press
or another person.
To nominate a work, please submit one copy of the book or manuscript
to each of the three judges (below), with the author's name, address,
and telephone number printed clearly on a separate cover letter indicating
that it is a submission for the Ruth Benedict Prize. All submissions
must be received before August 1, 2006. Send any inquiries
to the Committee Chair, Megan Sinnott: megansinnott@yahoo.com.
Send one copy of your submission to each of the following before August
1, 2006:
