The Linda Dégh Lifetime Achievement Award

At ISCLR’s annual general meeting in Prague in the summer of 2014, the membership voted to establish this new award for lifetime achievement. After Dr. Linda Dégh passed away later that summer, the executive council voted to honor her memory by making her name part of the award’s title. Starting in the summer of 2015, the award will be given to a living senior scholar who has made outstanding contributions to legend scholarship. The award includes a gift and a permanent page of ISCLR’s website devoted to the awardee’s accomplishments. The award is offered every two years and the presentation is made at the annual meeting.

To nominate:

In the cover letter, please explain why the candidate should become the winner of the Linda Dégh Lifetime Achievement Award for Legend Scholarship. The list can include scholarly positions, publications and other scholarly works, honors, service to ISCLR and other organizations, and other relevant information. Please limit the cover letter to one page and the list of achievements to one or two pages.

Nominees that are not selected in the year of their first nomination will remain in consideration for the next review.

The deadline for nominations for this year’s award is May 10, 2024. To nominate a candidate for this award, please send a cover letter and a list of the candidate’s achievements to ISCLR’s secretary: isclr.secretary@gmail.com
