LASA Awards
MARTIN DISKIN DISSERTATION AWARD
The Martin Diskin Dissertation Award is a new LASA initiative, made possible through the generosity of Oxfam America, LASA, and LASA members. This award, which will be presented for the first time at LASA2009, will be subsequently offered at each LASA International Congress to an outstanding junior scholar who combines Professor Diskin’s commitment to the creative combination of activism and scholarship.
The award will be presented to an advanced doctoral student or recent PhD. All advanced PhD candidates must demonstrate that they will complete their dissertation prior to the LASA International Congress, and we limit recent PhD recipients to those individuals who received their degrees after the LASA convention prior to the one at which the award is to be received. We welcome dissertations written in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

BRYCE WOOD BOOK AWARD
At each International Congress, the Latin American Studies Association presents the Bryce Wood Book Award to the outstanding book on Latin America in the social sciences and humanities published in English.
Although no book may compete more than once, translations may be considered. Anthologies of selections by several authors or re-editions of works published previously normally are not in contention for the award. Books will be judged on the quality of the research, analysis, and writing, and the significance of their contribution to Latin American studies. Books may be nominated by authors, LASA members, or publishers. Persons who nominate books are responsible for confirming the publication date and for forwarding one copy directly to each member of the Award Committee, at the expense of the authors or publishers.
