Interdisciplinary Nineteenth-Century Studies invites
nominations for its annual essay prize. The $500 award recognizes excellence in
interdisciplinary scholarship on any nineteenth-century topic. We encourage
members of INCS to nominate an essay written by a current member of INCS or to
submit their own work. Articles published in a journal or an edited collection
dated 2012 are eligible. The winning essay will be announced at the 2013
conference, to be held at the University of Virginia, March 14-17, 2013.
The winner is invited to put together a panel for the 2014 INCS
Conference.
