HTI Dissertation Series Award
Deadline: January 20
As part of HTI's interest in securing the future of
our scholars, HTI has established a full and equal partnership with
the University of Scranton Press, a publisher affiliated with the
Consortium of Jesuit University Presses, concerning a series of
books to be published about the religious experience of U.S. Latinas
and Latinos. It is conceived as an interdisciplinary and ecumenical
publication project.
Goals
- Provide Latino/a junior scholars with a
venue for publishing work on the religion of U.S. Hispanics
- Highlight our awardees' work
- Strengthen prospective of tenure
- Encourage scholarly reflection on the
religious experience of U.S. Hispanics
- Disseminate that knowledge
Applications should be submitted to the Hispanic
Theological Initiative with the dissertation by January 20th of each year.
Judging
Manuscripts will be evaluated for originality, scholarly
acumen, timeliness, lucidity of expression, and contribution to
the field of US Hispanic studies. Decisions of the HTI Dissertation
Selection Committee are final and will be rendered and communicated
to all applicants by May. Family members of the current HTI Selection
Committee are disqualified from applying.
Questions or request for applications should be sent
to HTI.
The winner of this annual contest will be guaranteed
publication by the University of Scranton Press in Scranton, PA

All applicants agree that if their dissertation is chosen, they
will publish the chosen dissertation through the University of Scranton
press following that press' author guidelines for that series.
