The Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit, named in honor of a long-time member and generous benefactor of the American Philological Association, is the only honor for scholarly achievement given by the Association. It is presented at the Annual Meeting for an outstanding contribution to classical scholarship published by a member of the Association within a period of three years before the end of the preceding calendar year, i.e., in this case, 2005, 2006, and 2007. Candidates to be considered must have been continuous APA members for the three previous years (since 2005). The APA office will verify the membership of authors.
The work chosen to receive the award may be a book, monograph, or article, provided that it has not appeared in substantially the same form in earlier publications. It is selected by the Committee on the C. J. Goodwin Award of Merit, which consists of three elected members. Because of the increased number of scholarly publications, the Committee is now empowered to make two awards and, for the same reason, particularly appreciates nominations across all areas of Classics: The Committee urges members to submit nominations (self or for others) to any of the following:
Patricia A. Rosenmeyer prosenme@facstaff.wisc.edu
D. C. Feeney dfeeney@princeton.edu
T. Peter Wiseman t.p.wiseman@exeter.ac.uk
Letters of nomination are due by June 2, 2008. The address of the Chair is Professor Patricia A. Rosenmeyer, Department of Classics, 966 Van Hise, University of Wisconsin - Madison, 1220 Linden Drive, Madison, WI, 53706.
Publishers wishing books to be considered by the Committee should send three copies to the APA Office, 292 Logan Hall, University of Pennsylvania, 249 S. 36th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6304, also by the deadline of June 2, 2008.
