Claremont Prize for the Study of Religion

The Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Life at Columbia University is seeking submissions to its annual Claremont Publication Prize for the Study of Religion. The publication prize is awarded to the best first book manuscript by early-career scholars working in any discipline of the humanities or social sciences. Manuscripts should be completed but should not have been submitted for publication anywhere other than to the Claremont Publication Prize. Submissions can be on any aspect of the study of religion, including the study of secularism. Prize-winners will be invited to participate in a book workshop with members of the IRCPL faculty board, and the book, when finalized, will appear in IRCPL’s series, “Religion, Culture, and Public Life,” published by Columbia University Press.
