[Reading-hall-of-fame] Call for Article Nominations SUNY Albany/Literacy Research Association Arthur Applebee Award

[Kathy Hinchman (she her)]

Hello, All,

As current chair of the SUNY Albany/Literacy Research Association Arthur Applebee Award Committee, I ask that you please take a moment to submit an article for the Arthur Applebee Award for Excellence in Research on Literacy.  The deadline is Tuesday, September 7, 2021.

The Arthur Applebee Award for Excellence in Research on Literacy is presented annually to honor an outstanding article in literacy research published in a refereed journal in the previous calendar year.  Please see the eligibility requirements for further information on date of publication.  The award is presented in memory of University at Albany - SUNY Distinguished Professor Arthur N. Applebee, internationally renowned for his seminal scholarship in the fields of literacy and language learning,

Eligibility
In order to be considered for the Arthur Applebee Award, an article must meet the following eligibility requirements:
(1) A research article published in a refereed journal between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 (for the 2021 recipient). For articles appearing in print only or in both print and on-line versions, the date of print version should be used to determine the date of publication. For articles appearing only on-line, the date of release should be used to determine the year of publication.  If you are at all uncertain, please consult the journal editors to determine what they regard as the official year of publication.
(2) Refereed journals are construed to include journals published around the world, with the proviso that the content is available in English.

Criteria for Consideration for the Award
The topic of literacy research is construed broadly to include research that informs literacy theory, practice, and/or policy.  A contribution to the field may include articles that either substantively develop or add to an existing area of research, combine existing areas of research in ways that have promise to positively influence literacy education, or create a new or less considered area of investigation with promise to positively influence literacy education.  As an award of the Literacy Research Association, the award focuses on the broadest possible conceptualization of literacy, that necessarily entails all of the epistemological, methodological, disciplinary, and topical perspectives found in LRA.

Award Details
Recipients of the award receive a small cash award and a plaque commemorating the award. The authors are also recognized during a general session of the conference.  For more information, see https://www.literacyresearchassociation.org/arthur-applebee-award.
Nomination Process
To nominate an article, please send an electronic copy of the article and a nomination letter that states how the article meets the criteria to Kathleen Hinchman (kahinchm at syr.edu) by Tuesday, September 7, 2021.  Self-nominations are accepted.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have about submitting a nomination via direct email. Thanks!

Best,
Kathy Hinchman
