Feminist Scholarship Division
The Feminist Scholarship Division is seeking nominees for the Teresa Award for the Advancement of Feminist Scholarship. We encourage self-nominations, as well as the nomination of others.
The Teresa Award recognizes work that has made significant contributions to the development, reach and influence of feminist scholarship. While the FSD awards committee favors research that consists of multiple projects and publications that have made a clear, coherent and sustained contribution to the advancement of feminist scholarship over time, single works and/or activities which have been highly influential in the field of feminist communication scholarship may also qualify someone for nomination. More specifically, nominees for this award will have accomplished one or more of the following:
(1) opened up new theoretical and/or methodological territory in feminist research;
(2) made other important contributions to the advancement of feminist scholarship; and
(3) engaged in feminist activism within academia that advanced feminist scholarship.
Those nominated for the award must be members of the Feminist Scholarship Division of ICA. Members of the FSD Awards Committee may nominate, but no FSD member who makes a nomination or who is nominated for an award can serve on the committee judging the nomination.
All nominators must:
(1) Submit letter(s) of nomination, not to exceed two pages each. These letter must:
-
specify the relevant body of work and/or other contributions made;
-
address the work's and/or activity's contributions to feminist scholarship (in the case of research, this will involve theoretical and methodological assessments);
-
make a case for its influence and impact on the advancement of feminist scholarship.
(2) Submit representative examples of the work cited, along with a CV, to the chair of the FSD awards committee (as noted on the FSD website).
(3) Have all materials electronically submitted by 11:00 pm EST, 31 January.
The Teresa Award was established in 2007 through an endowed fund created by Dr. Yoo Jae Song of Ewha Women's University in Korea to honor her mother, Dr. Teresa Kyuguen Cho, a Korean American and a pediatrician, who passed away in Philadelphia in 2006 at the age of 83.
