LIFETIME CONTRIBUTION AWARD CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
Dear Colleague:
I am pleased to announce the call for nominations for the BRASA Lifetime Contribution Award. This letter is an invitation to the members of the Brazilian studies community to submit their nominations for the fourth recipient of this prestigious award, which will be presented at the BRASA XI International Congress, to be held at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, September 8 and 9, 2012.
Reflecting the primary mission of BRASA, the goal of this award is to recognize an individual with both a record of outstanding scholarly achievement and significant contributions to the promotion of Brazilian studies in the United States. The BRASA Executive Committee especially wishes to emphasize the criterion of lifetime contributions.
Nominees can be from any discipline or nationality but must have spent the greater part of their career involved in U.S.-based Brazilian studies activities. Nominees need not be members of BRASA.
Nominations will be reviewed by a four-member BRASA award committee and voted on by the BRASA Executive Committee. The recipient will be announced before BRASA XI in 2012.
During a ceremony at the BRASA XI Congress, two individuals of the award recipient’s choosing – preferably one U.S.-based and the other Brazil-based – will give personal testimony to the recipient’s achievements. The recipient will also be invited to address the Congress. The BRASA vice president will then present the recipient with a plaque of appreciation.
Nominations should consist of one substantial letter of recommendation outlining the accomplishments and contributions of the individual; a CV; and a list of five references prepared to provide additional letters, if necessary. Materials can be either in English or Portuguese. One nomination per individual is sufficient. No self-nominations or posthumous nominees will be accepted.
The deadline for nominations is July 15, 2011. Nominations and questions should be e-mailed to me at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Jan Hoffman French
Vice President, BRASA
Chair, BRASA Lifetime Contribution Award Committ
