The NESA Awards Committee invites nominations for each of our two annual awards:

The Apple Award recognizes quality teaching within the discipline of sociology. It is typically presented at the annual fall conference, and the recipient is selected from nominations received from the membership by September 15th.

Past recipients include: Dr. Jack Levin, Northeastern University (2009), Dr. Shirley Jackson, Southern Connecticut State University (2008) and Dr. Jodi Cohen, Bridgewater State College (2008)

The Sociologist of the Year Award recognizes contributions to the discipline either through academic scholarship or through outstanding service to the broader community of sociologists, beyond the recipient’s own academic department and institution. It is typically presented at the annual spring conference, and the recipient is selected from nominations received from the membership by January 15th.

Past recipients include: Dr. Melvin Manson, Endicott College (2009) and Dr. Yvonne Vissing, Salem State College (2008)
