[Daviscenter-list] Book Prize Information

*The Nanovic Institute for European Studies at the University of Notre Dame is pleased to announce a new $10,000 book prize, the Laura Shannon Prize in Contemporary European Studies.* Publishers may nominate up to three (3) books; authors may also self-nominate. The prize carries a $10,000 award for "the best book in European studies that transcends a focus on any one country, state, or people to stimulate new ways of thinking about contemporary Europe as a whole." It rotates between the Humanities and History & Social Sciences. We will soon be announcing the first winner of the Humanities cycle, and we are now accepting nominations for the first prize in History or Social Sciences, for books published in 2008 or 2009*. The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2010. * Additional information and the entry form can be found at http://nanovic.nd.edu/programs-partnerships/shannon-prize.
