Important Guidance on Field Eligibility: Departments may submit a nomination that is interdisciplinary, so long as the book draws heavily from the methods and scholarship of the current year's field of competition (2024: Classical Studies and Archaeology). Since CGS is not in a position to advise universities on the eligibility of particular works of scholarship, it is up to the nominator to determine whether the book sufficiently meets this criterion, and with the understanding that their nomination will be evaluated alongside other books in the field of competition.
Each department can submit one nomination to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Nominations must be submitted by 12 April 2024 at 4:00 pm PT.
A complete nomination will consist of:
Nominations (#1 and #2 items above) are to be submitted via the graduate program's UBC Sharepoint folder (within the umbrella folder ‘Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies – Programs – Folder Structure”) as a single PDF file using the naming convention ARLT_DEPT_Last-Name_First-Name.pdf (as an example, nomination file for Jane Smith from the English department would be named ARLT_ENGL_Smith_Jane.pdf). Please put the file directly into your G+PS Awards – DEPT folder.
Three copies of the nominated book must be submitted as hard copy to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office. If any graduate programs are interested in submitting a nomination, drop off of the nominated books to G+PS will be coordinated between the graduate program and G+PS. The nominated books will not be returned.
