Beyond conflict, Hershenzon discovers that piracy, captivity, and redemption created a system of social and economic connections through which agents from both civilizations and diverse social and cultural backgrounds shaped an integrated Mediterranean region. On a three-year rotation, the Association offers a prize for the best dissertation, the best early career article, and best first book.
The book is exceptionally well researched with information extracted from a variety of unknown documents, many displaying astonishing personal experiences of the captives. Applications are solicited each fall and the award is made the following spring, with an honorarium of $250.
The dissertation should have been completed within the past two years and be written in English.
We welcome nominations not only from the UK but also from other countries.
The submission period for the 2019 prize will open in August 2019.
All submissions should include the following: dissertation, dissertation abstract and a contact information sheet. The Dissertation Prize Committee, chaired by David Northrup, professor emeritus of history at Boston College, will determine the winner of the prize.
Previous winners include Emma Marshall (who won the 2016 Prize) for her dissertation ‘Women’s Domestic Medical Practice, Recipe Writing and Knowledge Networks in Seventeenth-Century England‘.
The judges – Professor Ole Grell of the Open University; Professor Trish Skinner of Swansea University; and Paul Lay, Editor of History Today – thought the dissertation was ‘an outstanding, rigorously researched piece of scholarship, which also managed to be a hugely enjoyable read I am honoured and delighted to accept this award for my undergraduate dissertation from such respected institutions as the Royal Historical Society and History Today magazine.
