ASEN and Nations & Nationalism established an essay prize in honour of the memory of Dominique Jacquin-Berdal who was a devoted member of ASEN and an Editor of Nations & Nationalism.
The essay prize was established to encourage young scholars to publish original research in ethnicity and nationalism. Submissions are invited on all areas and themes in the field of nationalism studies.
The prize will be awarded for the best article submitted. The winning article will be announced at annual ASEN Conference.
The prize will include a sum of £250 and 2 years’ free membership of ASEN, and may lead to publication of the article in Nations & Nationalism.
Submissions may be made by currently enrolled post-graduate students and those who have submitted their thesis within five years of the submission deadline.
The deadline for submissions for the next edition of the prize is 30 November 2023.
All submissions must be submitted online at Nations & Nationalism’s ScholarOne Manuscript site. If you cannot submit online please contact the Seeta Persaud in the Editorial Office by email (nations@asen.ac.uk). More information on the Wiley website.
Submission procedure:
Articles must be submitted in English and in the Nations & Nationalism house style (‘Harvard’ system). Please refer to the guidelines for contributors.
Submissions must be accompanied by an official letter from the author’s supervisor confirming status and eligibility.
An author may only submit one article for consideration for the prize.
Co-authored articles will not be considered.
The Prize Committee reserves the right not to award a prize in any given year.
