Sharing the item below to give it a signal boost. I'm considering submitting a paper for it myself, but haven't decided. Click here for the original post.
On behalf of the Socinus Endowment Fund, the Unitarian Universalist History and Heritage Society is pleased to announce a 2021 contest for scholarly papers that address some aspect of the history and influence of the Polish Brethren—their theology, ecclesiology, social ethics, or organizational history and the relevance of their ideas for modern Unitarian Universalist thought and practice.
The contest is open inclusively to students and established scholars, clergy and laypeople, academics and independent scholars.
Papers should be roughly 4000-7500 words in length, including footnotes, draw on primary sources, be organized around a clear thesis, and adhere to rigorous scholarly style and standards. Papers should be submitted in Word.docx format and sent by email attachment to Dan McKanan, at dmckanan@hds.harvard.edu.
For the purpose of “blind” evaluation, the author’s name and contact information should be submitted separately from the body of the paper itself.
A prize of $500 will be awarded to the writer of the best qualifying submission.
Deadline and Questions
Deadline for submissions is November 1, 2021.Questions may be directed to Jay Atkinson: jayatk40@gmail.com.
