Celebrating the profoundly influential historian Martin Jay and his contribution to graduate education, this new award recognizes the best graduate student-authored article accepted for publication in the Journal of the History of Ideas each year.
When submitting articles to the journal, authors should indicate their interest in being considered for the prize and affirm that they are enrolled as graduate students at the time of submission. (You’ll find a space to note this information when uploading your submission to Scholar One.)
An article will be considered for the prize during the calendar year it is accepted for publication in the JHI; authors who are no longer enrolled in graduate study at the time their article is accepted remain eligible to receive the prize. All prize-eligible submissions will be considered by the editors and external peer reviewers according to the journal’s normal procedures for evaluation of regular submitted articles. An author’s graduate-student status and expressed interest in consideration for the Martin Jay Prize are not known to peer reviewers and have no bearing on the review process.
An award of $750 accompanies the recognition.
