Scholars' Roundtable Honor

CSA Scholars' Roundtable Honor

Purpose
To recognize those who enhance and evolve scholarship in the area of costume.
Description
The Scholars' Roundtable was formed to enhance scholarship about costume, taking it in new directions and making it truly interdisciplinary. Roundtable members are expected to stimulate interest in costume scholarship and help to establish and exemplify high standards for reporting scholarly activity. Members of this group benefit from exchange of ideas as they plan the Roundtable program for the Annual Meeting and Symposium. Any member of CSA is eligible for nomination. Scholars’ Roundtable appointments are for a single two-year term.
Requirements
Candidates must be nominated members of the Costume Society of America. Nominees should be those who have done or who are doing innovative work in our discipline. Self-nominations will be accepted.
Deadline
Nominations are due by November 1 and may be e-mailed to the CSA National Office who will forward to the Scholars' Roundtable Honor committee chair. All nominees will be contacted by the chair of the committee regarding the preparation of their application materials that are due by January 1. Each applicant is expected to prepare submit their CV or resume and a five-page dossier on why they think their scholarship exemplifies innovation in the study of costume. The selected scholars agree to give their presentations at the National Symposium following their selection and to serve a two-year term on the roundtable.
