Lawrence R. Schehr Memorial Award

Our colleague Larry Schehr was strongly committed to the mentoring of junior faculty in the field. We are proud to continue his good work at Contemporary French Civilization by launching the Lawrence R. Schehr Memorial Award. This annual award will be open to all untenured junior colleagues who have received the PhD within the last seven years and who are engaged in research in contemporary French civilization and cultural studies (1870 – present). 

Junior scholars who have presented conference papers in the preceding 12 months (at venues such as Nineteenth Century
French Studies, 20th and 21st Century French and Francophone Studies International Colloquium, Society for French Historical Studies, Western Society for French History, Association for the Study of Modern and Contemporary France, as well as other bodies in the UK, France, Australia, etc.) are encouraged to submit their work. 

The researcher who submits the best conference paper will receive the Award and will be invited to publish an expanded version in Contemporary French Civilization.   In the spirit of Larry Schehr, the editorial process of moving from conference paper to publishable article will involve close mentoring by the Editors of CFC.

All submissions will be peer reviewed by members of the Editorial Board of CFC. Junior colleagues should submit their conference paper (10-page maximum) in English or French along with a copy of their curriculum vitae to the Editors of Contemporary French Civilization (provench@umbc.edu) by July 1, 2012 for consideration for this year’s inaugural award.
