The Ogburn Career Achievement Award committee for CITASA would like to suggest some procedures for nominating candidates. 1. Make sure, s/he is a sociologist -- although not necessarily serving in a sociology department. In other words, William Gibson or Judith Merrill would not be eligible. 2. Remember that this is a career award -- not for one great paper/book. 3. Although a one-sentence letter is all that is formally required to put someone in play, in practice, a longer letter of 1 or 2 pages tends to be more persuasive. 4. Attach a vitae with the nomination. 5. Deadline March 7, 2011, midnight, Central Standard Time (USA/Canada) 6. Don't nominate someone who has already received the award (list on the website): unlike other CITASA awards (paper, book, etc.), this is for a Career. You can't have two. 7. Try to send the nomination and vitae to all three members of the committee: me, Hargittai (eszter@northwestern.edu) or Mesch (gustavo@soc.haifa.ac.il). Saves coordination costs.
