Call for Nominations: NASSS Distinguished Service Award
As an academic society, the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS) recognizes individuals who have made an extraordinary contribution to the sociology of sport and/or service to NASSS. Criteria for what is deemed "distinguished" are somewhat open-ended, and might refer to distinguished and long-term contributions to NASSS directly, or to the field of sport sociology more generally. Specifically, service as an elected officer of NASSS, in itself, is neither a sufficient nor required criterion. In fact, the recipient need not be a member of NASSS. The nomination should include a one to two page letter that describes in some detail the reasons why NASSS should recognize the recipient. Nominations may be submitted by an individual or jointly by a group of individuals.
• To nominate an individual for the award, submit a one to two page letter that describes in some detail the reasons why NASSS should recognize the recipient.
