2019 Cultural and Political Ecology Outstanding Publication Award

The Cultural and Political Ecology Specialty Group of the American Association of Geographers has established an award made to an individual who publishes a book or journal article that exemplifies creativity and rigor.

The award is made for a single publication that is clearly innovative and has the potential to be seminal in areas of research that are important to members of the Specialty Group. The intent is to recognize authors at any stage in their careers who demonstrate leadership through broadly influential, critical, innovative thinking.

 

 

Tara Patricia Cookson, Unjust Conditions: Women’s Work and the Hidden Cost of Cash Transfer Programs
