[Air-L] Call for Nominations - Nancy Baym Annual Book Award

[Michelle, Association of Internet Researchers]

We are pleased to call for nominations for the Nancy Baym Annual Book Award
<https://aoir.org/awards/nancy-baym-annual-book-award/>. This award
recognizes the best scholarship of the Association of Internet Researchers,
and highlights the breadth of work relating to the social and cultural
dimensions of networked media.

To be eligible for the award:

   1. The book must be authored or co-authored as a monograph and must
   explore a single topic (edited collections are not eligible).
   2. All of the book’s authors must be current members of AoIR at the time
   of submission (May 10, 2024). Memberships may be purchased here:
   https://members.aoir.org/.
   3. The book must have been published between January 1 and December 31,
   2023.

The books will be reviewed by a committee of Andrew Herman-Wilfrid Laurier
University (Chair), Nancy Baym-Microsoft Research, Miriam Johnson-Oxford
Brookes University, Catherine Knight Steele-University of Maryland, Jessa
Lingel-University of Pennsylvania, Jun Liu-University of Copenhagen, John
McNutt-University of Delaware.

Each book should be accompanied by an emailed letter of nomination.
Self-nominations are most certainly welcome. The letter of nomination,
which must be written by a current member of AoIR, should outline:

   - How the book contributes to AoIR’s intellectual community.
   - The book’s unique contributions and overall strengths.
   - If not a self-nomination, the letter should also include a statement
   that the nominated author has been contacted prior to its submission and
   accepts the nomination.

Books submitted without a meaningful nomination letter outlining both the
strengths of the book and the book’s contribution to the AoIR community to
AoIR will not be eligible.

We are happy to accept books in either digital or hard copy. If digital,
please send a PDF to bookaward [at] aoir.org or write to ask for individual
email addresses.
