PLEASE SEND IN YOUR NOMINATIONS FOR THIS INAUGURAL AWARD

Engaged Scholarship Award Guidelines
Association for Asian American Studies

The Engaged Scholarship award recognizes scholars who have applied or used their scholarship for the “public good” by addressing inequalities in our society and improving the AAPI community. This award will recognize scholars for their body of work and contributions, not individual projects, collaborations, or publications.

Examples of potential nominees include an individual, group, or organization that demonstrate a record of publications (i.e. books, journal articles, policy reports, websites), sustained civic engagement projects, collaboration with community-based organizations, engaging students in community-based research/projects, and conducting applied research that has shaped public policies or benefits the community. These projects should educate the broader community and engage AAPI communities, for example, through public health, educational, or urban planning policies or through public art or historical preservation forums. Individuals may self nominate or be nominated for their record of engaged scholarship.

Nominations for publications other than books must include electronic versions of supporting materials, including but not limited to, any publications, project materials, and related products such as syllabi, websites, media coverage/press releases, etc. In addition, please include a CV (5 page maximum) and a statement (2 page maximum) explaining the relevancy and impact of their engaged scholarship.

One award will be given for the inaugural year of the award in 2009 at the Association for Asian American Studies meeting held in Hawaii.
