CFP: Applications due September 3 for BSA's 2020 New Scholars Program

The Bibliographical Society of America (BSA) invites three scholars in the early stages of their careers to present fifteen-minute papers on their current, unpublished research in the field of bibliography as members of a panel at the BSA's annual meeting, which will take place in New York City in late January of 2020.

The New Scholars Program seeks to promote the work of scholars who are new to bibliography, broadly defined to include any research that deals with the creation, production, publication, distribution, reception, transmission, and subsequent history of textual artifacts (manuscript, print, or digital). The theme of BSA's 2020 annual meeting will be technology. The selection committee warmly welcomes (but does not require) papers that consider technologies of the book, capaciously conceived, including studies on textual artifacts and technological processes ranging from those in the ancient world to the present day.

Those selected for the panel receive an honorarium of $500, as well as reimbursed expenses of up to $500 toward the cost of attending BSA's 2020 annual meeting. In addition, awardees receive a complimentary one-year membership in the BSA, and may apply for travel funds to attend a subsequent BSA annual meeting within two years following their presentation to the Society. Papers presented by BSA New Scholars are submitted to the editor of The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America for publication, subject to peer review.
