An Invitation: Please Nominate Early-Career Scholars

 

Last week, I continued my Spotlight on Early-Career Scholars, now in its 4th edition. Please get to know these scholars, read their drafts, and invite them to present their work. 

 

I welcome your nominations for early-career scholars to highlight in the future. 

 

Please send me your nominee's name, Twitter handle, and one or two of her papers.

Voting is now open in the First Round. The First Round pairings are based on the 2000 votes cast in the Qualifying Round.

 

I would have liked to see more books authored by women in this contest. I nominated many of them myself.
