2015 J. Milton Yinger Lifetime Award
2015 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The J. Milton Yinger Lifetime Award for a Distinguished Career in Sociology may be given to an individual who is, or who has been, an active member of the NCSA; the nomination must be submitted by a member of NCSA. The principal criterion for this award is an extraordinary career in some activity that has furthered the work of Sociology as a discipline. As such the “criteria” are intentionally flexible in order to accommodate distinguished contributions to sociological scholarship, applied or public sociology that improves the quality of human life, or improvement of teaching and learning in the region and nationally. A person might be nominated for exemplary work in any one of the areas or for uncommon contributions in two or more areas.
Scholarly contributions—an extraordinary career of scholarship, expressed in publications, editorial work on behalf of sociological journals, and/or consultantships.
Public/Applied Sociology—an extraordinary career of applied sociological or public policy work.
Sociological teaching and learning—a lifetime of distinguished contributions to sociological instruction and curriculum development.
Exemplary service within the region—such as in doing external departmental reviews.
When making nominations for the award, nominators are asked to send as much of the following as possible:
1) a letter of nomination outlining reasons for the nomination,
2) a vitae or a listing of activities which have advance the discipline of sociology,
3) documents supporting the nomination,
