Award Details
The Bronislaw Malinowski Award is presented annually to an outstanding social scientist in recognition of efforts to understand and serve the needs of the world's societies, and whose career has been devoted to solving human problems using the concepts and tools of social science. Each nomination should follow the criteria for selection set forth by the Society for Applied Anthropology.
Nominees should be of senior status and widely recognized for their efforts to understand and serve the needs of the world through the use of social science. They may be academics or practitioners; but their contributions should have implications beyond the immediate, the narrowly administrative, or the political. Nominations of individuals who reside or work outside of the United States are encouraged.
The awardee should be willing and able to deliver an address at the annual meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology.
