About the Prize

About the Susanne M. Glasscock Humanities Book Prize for Interdisciplinary Scholarship

The Glasscock Book Prize, first awarded in 1999, was permanently endowed in December 2000 by Melbern G. Glasscock ’59 and his wife Susanne M. Glasscock, for whom the prize is named. Nominated books are informed by research and expertise, yet appeal to a wider than academic audience. In celebration of the Prize, we hold annual events including a community event and the Prize-winning author's lecture.
