John Porter Tradition of Excellence Book Award
The John Porter Tradition of Excellence Book Award, originally named the The John Porter Memorial Book Prize, was created in 1980 by the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association in memory of John Porter for the purpose of recognizing outstanding published scholarly contributions within the "John Porter Tradition" to the advancement of sociological knowledge in Canada. Porter, who died in 1979, was arguably the dominant Canadian sociologist of the post World War Two period.
The Canadian Sociological Association is no longer accepting nominations for the John Porter Award Tradition of Excellence Book Award.
