[Air-L] Submission deadline May 7, 2025 for the 2025 Nancy Baym Book Award

[AoIR Association Coordinator]

*Deadline reminder - submissions due by Wednesday, 7 May 2025*

We are pleased to call for nominations for the Nancy Baym Annual Book
Award. This award recognizes the best scholarship of the Association of
Internet Researchers, and highlights the breadth of work relating to the
social and cultural dimensions of networked media.

To be eligible for the award:

   - The book must be authored or co-authored as a monograph and must
   explore a single topic (edited collections are not eligible).
   - All of the book’s authors must be current members of AoIR at the time
   of submission (May 7, 2025). Memberships may be purchased here:
   https://members.aoir.org/.
   - The book must have been published between January 1 and December 31,
   2024.

The books will be reviewed by a committee of Jun Liu, (University of
Copenhagen and Committee Chair), Nancy Baym (Microsoft Research), Niki
Cheong (King’s College London), Helton Levy (London Metropolitan
University), John McNut (University of Delaware), Sarah Murray (University
of Michigan), and Robert Tynes (Bard College).

Each book should be accompanied by an emailed letter of nomination.
Self-nominations are most certainly welcome. The letter of nomination,
which must be written by a current member of AoIR, should outline:

   - How the book contributes to AoIR’s intellectual community.
   - The book’s unique contributions and overall strengths.
   - If not a self-nomination, the letter should also include a statement
   that the nominated author has been contacted prior to its submission and
   accepts the nomination.

Books submitted without a meaningful nomination letter outlining both the
strengths of the book and the book’s contribution to the AoIR community to
AoIR will not be eligible.

We are happy to accept books in either digital or hard copy. If digital,
please send a PDF to bookaward [at] aoir.org or write to ask for individual
email addresses.
