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 2018 competition for the Rachel Tanur Memorial Prize for Visual Sociology is now accepting applications, with a deadline of January 24, 2018. Entries will be judged by members of the Research Committee on Visual Sociology of the International Sociological Association (ISA). Up to three prizes will be awarded at the XIX ISA World Congress of Sociology, _Power, Violence and Justice: Reflections, Responses and Responsibilities_, to be held in Toronto, Canada on July 15-21, 2018.
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.
