We are pleased to announce a deadline extension for the Herbert G. Gutman Prize for Outstanding Dissertation. The new deadline for submissions is now January 31st, 2013. The winner will be notified in the late Spring, just prior to our national conference.
The prize is named in honor of the late Herbert G. Gutman, who was a pioneering labor historian in the U.S. and a founder of the University of Illinois Press’s “Working Class in American History” Series. LAWCHA hopes that the spirit of Gutman’s inquiry into the many facets of labor and working-class history will live on in this prize. The winner will receive a cash prize of $500 from LAWCHA and a publishing contract with the University of Illinois Press. The prize is contingent upon the author’s acceptance of the contract with the University of Illinois Press.
