Nominations are now invited for the 2002 Design History Society prize for
excellent scholarship in any one of a range of media such as books,
exhibitions, digital artefacts etc. The award of £2000 will be made at the
2002 DHS conference at the University of Aberystwyth, September 3-5 2002.
The award is open to nominations published or exhibited in the last two
years disseminating new research, new methodologies or the innovative
application of existing approaches to a new subject.
The inaugural award was made last year to Tanya Harrod for 'The Crafts in
Britain in the Twentieth Century' published in 1999 by Yale University
Press. A full report can be found in the DHS Newsletter No. 92, January
2002.
Do you think the new British Galleries at the V&A deserves recognition for
excellence? Did Pat Kirkham's recently edited volume 'Women Designers in the
USA, 1900-2000: Diversity and Difference' earn your nomination? What about
the Museum of Decorative Arts (MoDA) at Middlesex University, the new
Brighton City Galleries or the Silk Centre in Macclesfield?
Nominate the outcome that you consider to be most worthy of the DHS
Scholarship Prize 2002 by contacting the DHS secretary, Ruth Facey,
[log in to unmask] with details of your nomination (including ISBN/ ISSN if
possible) and your reason for nominating. Don't delay - nominations close
soon!
