The award is PAMLA’s way of acknowledging the impressive quality of scholarship published in our journal. We encourage all PAMLA members to submit to our Pacific Coast Philology today!
The annual selection process for the award is overseen by PAMLA’s Executive Director and/or a proxy, such as PAMLA’s Information or Communications Director. The awards judging committee is made up of PAMLA members from different disciplines. Past committee members have included Yolanda Doub, Peter Schulman, Richard Hishmeh, David John Boyd, Marta Albala Pelegrin, Juan Delgado, Sonia Christensen, Leonard Koff, Amy Parsons, and Satoko Kakihara. Current members of the awards committee are Carol-Anne Tyler, Satoko Kakihara, Andrea Gogrof, Russell McDermott, James Aubrey, and Matthew Warshawsky. The committee discusses and deliberates on the merits of the eligible works, and by the end of each year decides on one or two winners.
