The Best Articles/Chapters BRASA Awards recognize the best scholarly articles and chapters published in edited volumes in Brazilian Studies that contribute significantly to promoting an understanding of Brazil. Submissions may be in English or Portuguese. BRASA awards article/chapter prizes on even years, while the book prize is awarded on even years to coincide with the biennial congress. The next Best Article/Chapter Prize will be awarded in Spring 2025 for publications between January 2023 and December 2024.
For an article/chapter to be considered for the award, its author must be a member of BRASA and up-to-date in dues. For co-authored pieces, at least one of the authors must be a member and up-to-date in dues.
BRASA will award two prizes: one for best article/chapter in the Humanities, and one for best article/chapter in the Social Sciences. One honorable mention in each category is possible upon the recommendation of the prize committees.
To be considered for the prize, the author needs to submit this cover sheet with the information requested below and a PDF of the published piece by e-mail to the BRASA Secretariat at BRASAprizes@tulane.edu
In the cover sheet, besides contact information, authors should indicate whether they would like to be considered for the prize in the Humanities or the Social Sciences. Each member of BRASA may submit one single article/chapter (including the co-authored ones). The submission deadline is March 1, 2025. Two separate committees will be formed –one for the Humanities, one for the Social Sciences. The Secretariat will announce the winners through the BRASA website and by email by May 1, 2025.
