Journal Prizes[edit]
The African Studies Review awards prizes to recognize the achievements in scholarship of African studies scholars. In 2001, the board of directors of the African Studies Association established an annual prize, the Graduate Student Paper Prize, for the best graduate student paper presented at the previous year's Annual Meeting. While this is an ASA award, the winning essay is submitted to the African Studies Review for expedited peer review. In 2020, the journal expanded its prizes to include the ASR Best Africa-Based Dissertation Award and the ASR Prize for Best Africa-focused Anthology or Edited Collection.[4]
