Description
The Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit is presented by the Society for Classical Studies (SCS) for outstanding published contributions to classical scholarship. The Society awards three prizes annually at its Annual Meeting. Named in honor of a longtime member and generous benefactor, these are the Society’s only honors for scholarly books, although eligible works also include monographs and articles.
The award recognizes completed, published scholarship rather than supporting proposed research or work in progress. Nominations are welcomed in all areas of classical studies, and works are selected by the five elected members of the Committee on the C. J. Goodwin Award of Merit. Authors must meet the Society’s continuous-membership requirements, and nominated works must fall within the award’s three-year publication window.
