The American Religion Dissertation Prize, awarded by the journal American Religion and sponsored by Indiana University’s Center for Religion and the Human, recognizes outstanding dissertation writing in the field broadly understood as “religion in the Americas.” Our definitions of these operative terms (“religion” and “America”) are capacious, and we welcome submissions that deploy a broad array of methods, archives, and geographical orientations. The author of the winning dissertation will receive $1,000.

The prize is open to recently completed and defended doctoral dissertations from any department and institution in any country. Dissertations must be written in English and must have been completed and successfully defended between June 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024.

Self-nominations and nominations from faculty are accepted. Faculty nominators should send the author’s name and the dissertation’s title to amrel@iu.edu. Self-nominators should also send to amrel@iu.edu and should also include: 1) an abstract of the dissertation, 2) the complete dissertation as a pdf file, and 3) the author’s current CV.

Submissions are due August 30, 2024.
