ASFS Book Award
The ASFS Book Award recognizes an outstanding book about food published within the last two years. The book should employ exemplary research methods, offer novel theoretical insights and constitute a significant contribution to the study of food from a scholarly perspective. Books which suggest new questions and new avenues of food research for future scholars are encouraged to apply. Writing style, organizational rigor and a strong thesis will also be criteria for this award. Applicants may self-nominate and should arrange to have three copies of the work forwarded to the Awards Committee Administrator. Membership in the ASFS is not required and there is no fee for nominating a book. Three anonymous judges representing different disciplines will assess the entrants. The awards administrators have no input on the final decision. A cash stipend of $500 dollars accompanies the award. The award may not be granted should an outstanding book not be identified.
Books, articles or pedagogy materials should be sent by March 15, 2010 to:
