SANA Prize for Distinguished Achievement in the Critical Study of North America

The annual SANA Prize for Distinguished Achievement in the Critical Study of North America has been given each year since 1994. The scope of the Prize is explained in the following guidelines clarified by SANA in 2002:

“The SANA Prize for Distinguished Achievement in the Critical Study of North America is awarded to a senior anthropologist for broad-based contributions to research, teaching and service related to the development of critical studies of North America, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The award recognizes a distinguished long-term program of research and publication, and also takes into account contributions in other areas, such teaching and training, SANA/AAA service, and community, activist, practice, or policy involvements outside academia.”

Nominations can be made by submitting a (1) nomination letter of 1-2 pages, (2) a copy of the candidate’s CV, and (3) any other supporting material, to:

SANA Prize Committee, c/o Tim Sieber
