The Lone Medievalist Prize for Teaching

This award is given for excellence in the creation of materials for teaching any aspect of medieval studies at any professional level. Our goal is to showcase the work of medievalists whose teaching inspires students and colleagues.

  • CV (not more than 2 pages)

  • 2-3 artifacts demonstrating the nature and quality of your teaching

The Lone Medievalist Prize for Scholarly Outreach

This award recognizes a work of scholarly outreach in medieval studies. The intent of this prize is to honor the often undervalued work of representing medieval studies to the public. Scholarly outreach may take the form of a public lecture, a continuing education program for K-12 teachers, a podcast, a library curation or event, an editorial for an online or print publication, etc. Submission should take the form of clear documentation of the work; the specific form of that work is left to the individual.

  • Short (1000 words or fewer) letter of application explaining the nature of your work

  • CV (not more than 2 pages)

  • 1-3 artifacts demonstrating the nature and qualityof your outreach project

The Lone Medievalist Prize for Scholarship

The work may have one author or multiple authors (one letter of application is sufficient, but each author should include a brief CV).
