Gordon J. Laing Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gordon J. Laing Award is conferred annually, by the University of Chicago's Board of University Publications, on the faculty author, editor, or translator whose book has brought the greatest distinction to the list of the University of Chicago Press. The first award was given in 1963 and the most recent award was given on April 23, 2024, to Margareta Ingrid Christian, Asst. Professor, Department of Germanic Studies and the College at the University of Chicago.

The award is named in honor of Gordon Jennings Laing, the scholar who, serving as general editor of the Press from 1909 until 1940, firmly established the character and reputation of the Press as the premier academic publisher in the United States.

The award is presented each spring at a ceremony at the David Rubinstein Forum at the University of Chicago.
