We are inviting young researchers who are master students, PhD students or PhDs who have obtained a doctorate in the past five years, to apply for the annual “Zagorka Golubović” Award which will be open until June 30, 2022.
Please submit the published text with a short explanation (up to half a page) of how the work corresponds to the propositions of the competition and with the information that included the journal/collection where and when the text was published. It is necessary to enclose a biography with the application.
Applications should be submitted exclusively electronically to the following e-mail address: institut@instifdt.bg.ac.rs and the following subject line “For the Zagorka Golubović Award – name and surname.”
The award is intended for a paper published in the past year in Serbian (Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin) or English in a scientific journal or an edited volume. Papers that approach regional or broader social problems in an engaged way will be taken into consideration. The papers should be original scientific articles in the social sciences and the humanities. Both empirical and purely theoretical research works are eligible.
Submitted papers should:
- Serve as an invitation for others to join the process of reflecting and intervening into social reality – to encourage thinking and action by focusing on themes and methods that challenge dominant narratives;
- Have a critical, or an engaged intention – an effort to translate scientific insights into guidelines for acting (i.e., operationalize them); that is, to demonstrate a form of thought that strives to become action;
- Strive to include a significant number of social actors into thinking about institutional reality and challenging it, which requires a line of argument intelligible to a broader audience, but not at the expense of rigor and quality of scientific insights. Thus, the papers should be written using engaging language.
The best paper according to the committee will be republished in one of the Institute’s journals – Philosophy and Society or Critique. The author of the text will also receive a scholarship.
In accordance with the valid Rulebook on the Zagorka Golubović Award, the committee will make a decision no later than October 31, 2022.
