The Emerging Scholars Award: https://ncsaweb.net/ncsa-emerging-scholars-award/
The work of emerging scholars represents the promise and long-term future of interdisciplinary scholarship in nineteenth-century studies. In recognition of the excellent publications of this constituency of emerging scholars, this award is given for an outstanding article or essay published while the author is within their doctoral studies or within six years following conferral of their doctorate. Articles that appeared in print in a journal or edited collection in 2024 or between 1 January 2025 and 30 June 2025 are eligible for the Emerging Scholars Award, which will be presented at the 2026 NCSA Conference. If the official date of publication does not fall within that span but the work in fact appeared between those dates, then it is eligible. NCSA encourages winners to attend the annual conference and will waive the conference registration fee. Entries can be from any discipline and may focus on any aspect of the long nineteenth century (the French Revolution to World War I), must be published in English or be accompanied by an English translation, and must be by a single author. Submission of essays that are interdisciplinary is especially encouraged. Articles may be submitted by the author or the publisher of a journal, anthology, or volume containing independent essays.
