THE RACHEL TANUR MEMORIAL PRIZE

The Rachel Tanur Memorial Prize for Visual Sociology recognizes students in the social sciences who incorporate visual analysis in their work.  The contest is open worldwide to undergraduate and graduate students (majoring in any social science).   It is named for Rachel Dorothy Tanur (1958–2002), an urban planner and lawyer who cared deeply about people and their lives and was an acute observer of living conditions and human relationships. 

The 2016 competition for the Rachel Tanur Memorial Prize for Visual Sociology is now accepting applications, with a deadline of January 25, 2016.  Entries will be judged by members of the Visual Sociology Group (WG03) of the International Sociological Association (ISA).  Up to three prizes will be awarded at the Third ISA Forum of Sociology, The Futures We Want: Global Sociology and the Struggles for a Better World, to be held in Vienna, Austria on July 10-14, 2016.  Attendance at the forum is not a requirement but is encouraged.  First prize is $2,500; second prize is $1,500; and third prize is $500.
