Dissertation Prize

Dissertations brought forward for next year's J. Leeds Barroll Prize must have been submitted and approved during the current calendar year.

The competition is open to SAA members in good standing. Applicants should send (1) a cover letter of no more than two pages, providing an abstract of the dissertation and giving context for the writing sample; and (2) twenty pages from the introduction or any chapter of the applicant’s choice. These materials should be sent as e-mail attachments to shakespeare@georgetown.edu by 15 January. They will be used for an initial screening, with selected applicants then encouraged to forward full copies of the dissertation and also hard-copy letters from the applicant’s Chair or Director of Graduate Studies, confirming approval of the dissertation. The J. Leeds Barroll Disertation Prize will be presented at the Luncheon of the Annual Meeting of the SAA.
