Description

The Betty Kirke Excellence in Research Award recognizes exceptional scholarship. It is given every year to the author(s) of one abstract proposal accepted at the annual symposium. It is open to all CSA members who conduct research from different perspectives and advance knowledge in the areas of studies covered by CSA. The Abstract Committee for each symposium selects the winning abstract proposal before the symposium based on the highest rated selection in the peer-reviewed process. To be eligible for an award, the author(s) of an abstract must be CSA member(s) at the time of the abstract due date. One or multiple authors must send an abstract proposal to an annual symposium. When an abstract is selected, one or multiple authors must present it in person at the symposium. Abstracts for Completed Research Presentations (Research, Design-Based, Project-Based) and Creative Works Exhibition will be considered. Please visit the award's website or contact the Costume Society of America for more information.
