Eyes on the Prize: Toward a Reimagining of the Role of Awards in African Studies

AbstractPhillips and Cheney preface an analysis of the ASA’s Graduate Student Paper Prize in a discussion with past Prize winners with a review of the sociological literature on awards and scholarly critiques of the history of African Studies. They find that the Prize has played an important role in amplifying and recognizing the voices of young scholars who have pushed the thematic and theoretical boundaries of the field. But these contributions are attended by limitations that the ASA should remediate as they consider the GSP Prize in relation to efforts to realize anti-colonial and social justice-oriented approaches to knowledge production.

President's Note

President’s Note Amy Singer The first “President’s Note” appeared in the previous issue of the Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association (Vol. 5. no. 2, 2018). This brief column aims to provide a summary of news relevant to our organization from the past six months and to alert the members to upcoming events for the middle- and long-term. More immediate news and information are sent out to members by email, and some items are also posted to H-Turk, our H-Net network. If you are not currently subscribed to H-Turk, please find further details at: https://networks.h-net.org/h-turk. Nükhet Varlık has now taken over from Kent Schull as editor of JOTSA. This issue and those in planning to follow it will attest to her dynamic intellect and creative energies in continuing to develop this journal as a leading venue for publishing new and original scholarship in our field. Please consult the introductory pages of a recent JOTSA issue or the OTSA website for further instructions on submitting your original work to JOTSA publication or to contact the editor. OTSA is governed by nine people. These include the officers: President Amy Singer (2018–20), Treasurer Patricia Blessing, and Secretary Hale Yılmaz; and five Board members: Senem Aslan, Lale Can, Chris Gratien, Murat Yıldız, and İpek Yosmaoğlu. Aslan and Yıldız began their two-year terms this winter, and we look forward to their ongoing input on the Board. The immediate past-president continues to serve as a member of the Board for one year after formally turning over the office. We are grateful to Linda Darling, who has remained available for consultation on various matters even after the expiration of this one year. Indeed, this is an opportunity to thank many past presidents for continuing to contribute from their experience when called upon. It is equally important for our organization to draw on the expertise and wisdom of previous Board members as it is to bring new people into the Board regularly and to welcome new members to OTSA. [End Page 3] For those of you who have not yet visited, please have a look at the new organization website, found at https://www.ottomanturkishstudiesassociation.org. If you have suggestions for the site and wish to become involved in its management and curation, please contact the OTSA Secretariat at secretariattsa@gmail.com. OTSA is a membership organization. Annual dues entitle members to receive JOTSA as it appears, and members serve on OTSA committees and stand for election to become Board members and officers. These dues help to fund the OTSA prizes as well as to pay for costs associated with publishing JOTSA and for annual administrative costs of the organization. OTSA publishes JOTSA twice each year and holds its annual members’ meeting in conjunction with the annual Middle East Studies Association conference in the fall of each year. At that meeting, OTSA distributes awards that recognize achievements of scholarship at different phases of a research career and support student development in Ottoman and Turkish studies in several ways. The committees that select the winners are composed of members of the organization, and the committees are reformed annually so as to draw on a broad section of the membership. We applaud the 2018 winners and thank the various committee members for volunteering their time and expertise. The 2018 M. Fuat Köprülü Book Prize was awarded to Alan Mikhail of Yale University for Under Osman’s Tree: The Ottoman Empire, Egypt, and Environmental History (University of Chicago Press, 2017). An Honorable Mention was awarded to Side Emre of Texas A&M University for Ibrahim-i Gulshani and the Khalwati-Gulshani Order: Power Brokers in Egypt (Brill, 2017). Committee members were Senem Aslan, chair (Bates College), Nükhet Varlık (Rutgers University-Newark), and Carole Woodall (University of Colorado-Colorado Springs). The 2018 Sydney N. Fisher Graduate Student Paper Prize was awarded to Yusuf Ziya Karabıçak, PhD Candidate, McGill University and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), for his paper “Sovereignty and Legitimacy in an Age of Revolutions: The Ottoman...

Picturing Halifax: Young Immigrant Women and the Social Construction of Urban Space

This study explores the social construction of space in the lives of young immigrant women. Drawing upon data from photo-elicitation interviews, I analyze how young women who recently immigrated to Canada interpret and transform the meanings of spaces in their everyday lives. Using the social construction of space as a conceptual framework, I demonstrate how the social positions of young immigrant women are reflected in and negotiated through their use of urban space. While participants share perceptions of risk and experiences of gendered safety issues, all negotiate these issues by gaining spatial knowledge through exploration. They all also experience Otherness in various spaces. However, they construct belonging by developing diverse social networks, claiming space, and getting involved in the international community. It is evident that the city affects how, and whether, young immigrant women mobilize their identities as immigrants. New spaces bring new understandings of their identities as women, young people, and immigrants. This study illuminates how young immigrant women transform cities, and how, in turn, the city transforms them. Editor's note: This article won the 2017 Best Undergraduate Student Paper Prize of the Society for Urban, National, and Transnational / Global Anthropology (SUNTA).

Guest Editorial

This is the inaugural Special Issue covering the Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference (LAPC), an international conference that has been held every year since 2005 at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom. The Special Issue focuses on the 2015 Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference held on 2-3 November 2015 at Burleigh Court Conference Centre within Loughborough University. The conference program for 2015 included 12 distinguished invited speakers who delivered talks on the four main themes of the conference: Reconfigurable Antennas, Biomedical Applications (including wearable), Space and Industrial Applications, and Smart Materials for EM. A total of 174 submissions from 41 different countries were reviewed by a dedicated panel of 74 reviewers, and 153 papers were selected to be included in the conference proceedings. In keeping with the single-track format of the conference, all of the regular papers were presented in open poster sessions. Based on the reviewer scores, a selection of the best papers that were presented at the conference were invited by the Chairs to submit extended versions of their papers to be included in this Special Issue. After extensive peer review, the following 12 papers were accepted for publication, several of which received prizes in the IET Best Student Paper and the Best Non-Student Paper categories at the conference.

They combine technical insights from both industry and academia, something which is characteristic of the overall work presented at the conference. We sincerely hope that you enjoy reading these latest developments. We would like to thank the authors for their excellent contributions and to thank all the reviewers for the time and effort that they dedicated to improve the quality of the papers. We would also like to thank the Editorial Board of IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation for their assistance and guidance in the preparation of this Special Issue, especially the Editor-in-Chief Dr. Stavros Iezekiel and the IET Editorial Office. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the support of The IET for the sponsorship of the IET Best Student Paper prize at LAPC.
