Society for Socialist Studies Award
As a tribute to the robust scholarship undertaken by its members and to recognize their publication achievements, the Society for Socialist Studies awards an annual book prize for a significant contribution to socialist research in Canada.
We solicit nominations of books that facilitate and encourage research and analysis with an emphasis on socialist, feminist, anti-racist, anti-colonial/decolonial, and ecological points of view. The prize is for single or jointly authored original books—excluding edited collections, textbooks, and translations—published in the previous two years and that have not been previously nominated for this award (ie any specific book can be nominated once only, but can be nominated in one of two years).
The prize includes an award of $500 and is presented at the annual meeting of the Society. The winner is invited to present a keynote address at the next Society meeting (ie. in 2026).
