Submission Deadline for SHA 2022 Gilmore Dissertation Award Nominations is Monday, July 12, 2021

The Society for Historical Archaeology’s 2022 Kathleen Kirk Gilmore Dissertation Award will be presented to a recent graduate whose dissertation is considered by the Kathleen Kirk Gilmore Dissertation Award Panel to be an outstanding contribution to historical archaeology. In January 2011, the SHA Board of Directors voted to change the name of the SHA Dissertation Prize to the Kathleen Kirk Gilmore Dissertation Award to honor Kathleen Kirk Gilmore, who passed away in 2010. She was a pioneer in the field of historical archaeology and a past president of the SHA.

The deadline for submission of all required materials is Monday, July 12, 2021, and the award will be presented during the SHA annual conference in January 2022.
