The Prize is awarded annually to scholars from any discipline or nation, for a specific book, article, film, or exceptional PhD thesis produced within the preceding three years. The Prize is awarded at the Society for Medical Anthropology business meeting, held during the annual American Anthropological Association meetings, and winners receive a $1000 award and plaque. The Basker Prize is awarded to the work judged to be the most courageous, significant, and potentially influential contribution to scholarship in the area of gender and health.
