The Nomination for this award does not include self-nominations. The process is similar to the "Charles Davis Award for Convention Presentations", since nominations must be made by the Chair of the Session in which the presentation was given. Chairs of all French sessions at the convention make the nomination directly to the Executive Director. Session chairs should include the following in their nomination: Title of presentation, Name of presenter, Name of session. Any presenter in a French Studies session is eligible for nomination by the Session Chair—this includes faculty, independent scholars and graduate students.
Only one nominee per session can be submitted. Nominations must be received by November 1st. Application Deadline: February 1st. Award Announcement: March 1st.
Nominees will be contacted by the Executive Director and invited to submit a copy of the presentation in French or English, and a one-page CV by E-mail attachment, postmarked no later than February 1st to
[email protected].
The Joan Grenier-Winther Award Selection Committee is made up of three RMMLA members.
Selection of award recipients is based first on the completeness of the application, followed by a ranking based on five criteria: originality of research; scholarly context (reference to current research on topic); mechanics and style; coherent thesis statement; and contribution to scholarship in the field of French Studies. The award will be announced by March 1st.
