On behalf of the IALSP Executive Committee, I’m delighted to announce that nominations are now open for the Jim Bradac Prize. The Jim Bradac Early Career Prize is awarded to an IALSP member who, within five years of completing her/his PhD, has already made a significant contribution to the field as evidenced by her/his cumulative body of work to date. Details can be found here: http://ialsp.org/awards/. Nominations of no more than two sides of paper should be emailed as word documents to me by April 30th, 2016 at tony.young@ncl.ac.uk. A distinguished panel, including past Bradac awardees, will then make a decision on the winner by May 20th.
